Very nice. Really like the crosscut oak and as said above nice matching bead.

I've worked with oak on wood projects but this is the first time I have tried it on a knife handle. I kinda like it.
The knife 8 3/4" OAL, 3/16" O1, brass bolsters and pins.
OK now you can't just throw that out there with out some explanation, "I've worked with oak on wood projects but this is the first time I have tried it on a knife handle"!
You have got to tell more about the Oak handle.
Quarter sawn?
Burl?
What did you do get the finish etc.etc.
I am impressed because I have finished alot of Oak but that piece just grabs my eye! :drool: :drool:
Hey and the blade is great too! :52: :biggrin:

The handle was made from a stabilized oak burl block. It was hard, dense and worked well with a file. I just cut the scales, glued them on, shaped, sanded, and buffed.

That may be the prettiest piece of oak I recall seeing, ever. Of course it could just be the knife it's on, which is nice enough to make just about any material look good.
