Snakewood and Ivory Trappers

[DOWELLKNIVES]

Here is a couple I am sending out soon. I got a few pictures before they go. I really like this snakewood. The guy who ordered the mammoth wanted a sheath, so I had Larry Parsons make it. The snake wood is 3 3/4 and the ivory is 4 1/4 .



Thanks,
Bret Dowell

I like that Snakewood! How hard is it? Did it feel like you got a good clasp with your pins in the wood? It looks great!

 

[joe-bob]

Great knives. I really like the sheath, too.

This is probably the first time I've posted in this sub-forum in almost four years, but that trapper in snakewood is darn classy/sexy/cool! :thumbup::thumbup:...Too beautiful to just look and walk away without posting something. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta get a paper towel to clean the drool outta my keyboard...

...But first, one more look! :thumbup:

I'd say its pretty hard wood Brent. I think it compares to iron wood. You definitely need sharp belts to work it.

I really like the snakewood scales. Is it true that snakewood is more prone to cracking than other woods?

Well, to answer your question, I went out to my garage and looked at the slab I purchased in April in Pasadena, and I have to say that some cracks have appeared. I will have to work around the cracks, should be able to get a pair of scales out of it still.
