Last weekend at the Roseburg gun show there was a guy selling knives with stabilized fir bark handles. Anybody know who or how to get hold of him? I talked to him but didn't take a card and now I'm thinking might make nice grips for a revolver I have.
If they're anything like the stabilized pine cone currently trending on the knife making sites, they're encased in colored epoxy, then trimmed to size. A Google-fu of pine cone scales for knives should get you started on the right path for raw materials. Good luck and i want pics when it's done!
That's pretty much what it is, this guy was saying he had his own process for doing it. I wasn't really interested in the knives so didn't get one of his cards. By the time I get home I realize that would make a nice and a different grip for a revolver. Mt google-fu just keeps coming up with bark river knives so I was thinking he might be somebody in the area that just didn't have a website.
Well bugger. I was really looking forward to seeing the pics, in part because I'm getting ready to start grinding on some D2 and was looking around for scales.
