Project Information
I decided to go for some contrast and detail this time. I chose a Greek Key for the inlay and an Asian motif for the handle,
The handle is brass pinned White Oak using the the Shou Sugi Ban method for the finish ( fancy way of saying charred wood ).
I used some mosaics I purchased from a knifemaking supply company for the corner detail.
The sides are joined using a simple miter cut, and the top and bottom panels are captured in 1/4" dadoes.
Bottom panel ( not shown ) is Alder, and the liner is 3/8" Spanish cedar.
Finish is beeswax, mineral spirits, walnut oil, and teak oil.
About 31 hours start to finish, up for sale in Gallery Calipooia for $840.00
Wish me luck! :-/
