Title: W2 and Spalted Maple
Post by: kbaknife on March 31, 2009, 05:32:00 PM
I just love using this end-grain spalted maple!
Once it is stabilized it just turns into a solid piece of plastic.
The mild steel take-down fittings were hot blued and the W2 blade was clayed for a nice hamon.
(Will be on my table in Atlanta)
8 1/8" blade and 13 1/4" overall.
