Picked this up a while back and can't really remember who I got it from . Thought I'd try it on my son's small sebbie. What do you think??
Just did another and thanks to comments I think this is better ! Sorry, practiced ont the first and now grabaged! Next one should be even better and more natural. Tried to make it as irregular as possible and used a dremel tool.

That G10 looks good to me, maybe a bit more file work would help to bring out the tiger in it :)

Anybody any work with this G10 ? I can't seem to get the tider stripe image. Seems that the black and orange are in layers.

You would have to sand/file down through the alternating black/orange layers to get the desired effect. Much like what Busse does with a lot of their different colored G10 and micarta handles. Your handles wouldn't be flat, but would have to be contoured to get the different colors to come through. :thumbup:

If you use a round file to fulte the G-10 you will bring out the stripes.
you can go from "top to bottom" or meet them in the middle.

You can use a thin file like would be used to sharpen a chainsaw or a wider
file with the flat top and round back. Just depends on how wide you want the filing to be.
 
That's a great look. If you remember where you got it...please post.
 
Thanks, all ! I am trying to remember, but this 66 year old brain not what it used to be ! LOL !!
 
Just finished another and I think this is more like it. Used a dremel with rotary sander. Had to discard my first as I used it for practice.
