Three woody's

Raymond Richard · Nov 25, 2007

Here's 3 I finished over the last couple weeks. Top one has a blade forged out of buggy spring, iron fittings, and an ironwood handle. Middle has a 6 1/2" 1084/95 blade, iron fittings, and curly maple handle. Bottom has a W-2 blade, iron fittings, and osic handle. Went low teck on the photo, used my shop bench, paper towel, and light from the window. Need to make some improvements to my light box.

All SWEET, but that middle one is just

:thumbup: jawdropping.

All look great Raymond. I wish I could make mine look that good even with a fancy light box and high tech photos.

Man those are awesome! Did you make the iron fittings or is there a supplier for them?

Great Ray, keep them coming.

The fittings were made by me. Here's a picture of the wrought iron I use to make the fittings.

Amazing work!

I'm wondering, however, if you mean a type of wood called Osic, or the somewhat rare bone called Oosik. If the latter, that's the accepted spelling of the Native Alaskan word.
