Texturing Layered G10 Slabs

[MattyLav]

Hey everyone,
I'm planning on making G10 knife scales with slabs of layered g10 and I have some questions.
I want to make a pattern like this: so I know you go forward and back with a dremel

But with layered G10 so it looks like this:

So if I use a dremel to do this do I do a forward and back movement and the scale will look like that?

Like in this picture below (from left to right) to get the pattern do you left to right, a wave movement, then forward and back ward?

I got all these pics off google so sorry if they are blurry or anything.

Thanks for any help, I'm a complete noob with this stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean by forward and back? Like make both sides of the pattern in one pass?

I would suggest working your way around the handle. So one groove at a time across the top of the handle and then across the bottom. That way you can evenly stagger the pattern.

Ya sorry i meant back and forth to make one groove. Like on and off pretty much. But is that what you do to get the effect in the second pic?

Well I'd think you would do it in this order. Ima artist ain't i

Or maybe like this..

Thanks 9blades, and if you do it like that will it look like picture two (if you're using layered g10)?

To be honest I don't realy know, I only played with a couple scrap pieces of wood to see if I like the pattern......but it should.

I'd try to help more i just don't really have much (if any) Experience on the subject and don't want to steer you wrong.

Any way hope it helps have a good day!
