what do you think of this dye job on the bone ?

Bruce Evans · Nov 26, 2001

Here are a couple of pictures of some Bone I dyed a little differently than normal...
Oh yea I decided to name my Bone scales
"Bark" Bone...Since it is dyed to resemble Bark Ivory and also because it is Dog chew bone and old cow bones...What do you think Cool name or not??

I ended up with a bunch of pocket knife size scales that I won't be able to use and these are some of the pictures of them..

Bruce those are fantastic! I want some along with the folder! The ones with the pink hues are particularly nice and the more checks the better. I want at least two sets!

That really does look like fossil ivory bark. Would you be willing to share your technique for getting these great combinations of colors? Do you stabilize these, too? Thanks much.

Bruce Evans · Nov 26, 2001

Email me and I will let you know what size these are to make sure that they will work for you...
These are all 1/8 inch thick and between 2 inches and 4 inches long.This should give you a general idea of the sizes...Are they worth $10.00 a set for the 2 inches and $15,00 for the 3 and $20.00 for the 4 inch If this is high just let me know and we will figure out some prices and then I will be able to make more later on if people want some.

I did forget that these all have been stabilized with Polyurethane...
Richard email me and I will explain it to you if I can.

Great name and great look. I sure would like to see a knife with a Bark Bone handle.

Keith Montgomery · Nov 29, 2001

OK so I went to the other thread and saw the knife that you used this material for the handle. Very nice.

Bruce Evans · Nov 29, 2001

For a picture of one just go to my post about the sister to the other Price styled Dagger.I have used some of this green Dyed Bone for the mortised tang handle..

What George said! A poor man's Mastodon!

Those look cool. Camouflage bones! I'd buy a knfie with those as handle scales, and I'm not much of a guy for natural materials!

Man, Bruce, you just keep coming up with new ways to make the old stuff beautiful! This is great, we'll be talking.
