Hey gang,
Thought some of you phenolic fans would like to see something I whipped up for a friend.

He wanted a factory textured orange G-10 handle for his small Sebenza. Textured G-10 is hard to come by, as its usually sold smooth. Any subsequent texturing is either done by bead blasting, or grooving like an Anso or Strider.

I lucked out and found some nice stuff at Halprens, but it was only .080 thick. I cut two pieces and then glued (slow set epoxy) them together making it .160 thick. I re-thicknessed it down to .140. After the glue had set, I tried to flex the piece, I could barely move it it was so stiff!

Here's a couple photos I snapped this morning in the kitchen. Now I'm sending to Tom Krein for a blade regrind. Hope my buddy likes it!

Orange is excellent, but red is where it is at:cool:

If you guys don't have a Barry scale, I would suggest that you get one, they are awesome. Matter of fact, I have a few:D
 
I have always liked orange - what you've created is great! I really like it!!
 
As much as I like the looks of that, I prefer MY Sebbies just the way they are.
 
I am honoured Sir that you consider me a friend! Thank You for the beautiful work you just completed. Gentlemen, for those of you that are "on the fence" about having one of these done for you, I can assure you that Barry has been a pleasure to deal with and produced for me EXACTLY what I asked for! Thanks Again Barry.....
