I have a customer, who my step son says," wants a knife made with Osage Orange (Bois d'arc---Bodock, ) for sentimental reasons and doesn't care what kind of blade it is". Of course, I would qualify that before making a custom Knife .
But ----where can I find a really nice set of Osage orange scales or block already cut for a handle. The only site I have found with scales are very plain (I know Osage Orange is somewhat plain) but have seen some examples , I think on this forum of some with some pretty nice contrast of color. Any help appreciated.
