    Kirinite vs. Other Acrylics (Acrylester). Your input please!

    Hey guys. I've been using Acrylester from www.logstolumberexotics.com with great success.

    Teach me about combining different woods w/ spacers on full tang knives

    Example: Love this type of thing. I also like how the main handle spacer is the same as the one that goes through to divide the 2 woods. I know on a hidden tang, your block or pieces are laid up, glued and ground/sanded to shape. What are the proper steps for doing something like...

    How does one achieve this look with stag?

    I have several antlers from deer I've killed that are begging to be made into knife handles. How is the dark, craggy effect achieved like in the example above? What other things can you do to stag/antler to make it pop and stand out?
