New Blackwood

[AC_Doctor]

Here are some pics of the handles of my new masterpiece, from the artisan known as Mr. Neil Blackwood. The knife is one of Neil's limited run of 15 Parakeetis. The wood is double-dyed stabilized
box elder burl....

Beautiful!! Are you sure that's not California Buckeye?

 

[AC_Doctor]

Hi, Nic !!! It sure does look like California Buckeye Burl, but I know for sure that it is Box Elder burl, because I bought 3 blocks of it, and supplied the wood to Neil

Dang that box elder is incredible. That is some of the nicest wood I have seen.

The other side....The green on the handle is a camera mishap. No, Neil is not hand-dying his stabilized wood hanldes....

Jeff,

Did you let a Lepprechaun handle it ???

I'm glad you like it, I'm finishing up the last Parakeetis this week. I hear the Shivworks guys will be doing some Pikal instruction at Blade West.
