im thinking about rehandling a stick tang knife in wood blocks but iwant to put some spacers in between the wood . Whats the best/ strongest way to cut the wood for the handle end grain parallel to the tang or across??
 
I went against the gran on this one....nothing new for me.

I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of difference since they'll be epoxied together and supported by the tang. Rayban's example looks pretty cool. :thumbup:

If you use metal spacers, be careful shaping the handle. Don't let the metal get hot enough to scorch the wood or soften the epoxy. Use a firm sanding block to prevent "dishing out" the softer wood between the spacers.

Have fun!
 
thanks guys!! thats exactly what i wanted to know. Rayban that knife is kinda how i wanted it to look . I can punch sheet metal out at work with different holes or slots in it ,thats why i thought i could use it
