Nice, can't wait to see them finished.

Doing custom is excellent.....:thumbup:
 
i love osage wood. mmm.

as KaBar has the silly handles CNC'ed data ready to go, i could love it if they farmed out small sprint runs of various materials...

mmm!
 
Looks great! My BK2 was just shipped today! Cant wait to see it! Already looking for wood scales to get mine started!
 
I like the Osage a lot. It's probably my favorite wood for scales! Distinct color and grain! Suuuhweeet!
 
free wood = win!
nice work on those. I need to get off my butt and make some scales that fit me better.
Moose, did you ever take a look at the pics I posted on the "tea drinkin' grip" I have to use on my patrol model?
 
Wenge if done right can be some stunning wood... Your Osage looks great :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the kind words folks. Now more Pron,

Not the greatest quality pics. I've been thinning these down and shaping them to the blade, this Osage is nice to work with. Next up is contouring them to my hand cause I went out tonight to chop up my christmas tree and man are there some hot spots.
