First time ive used any of this wood, Katalox, in a Bowie. Its hard to see in the pics, but it has a nice dark brown base color, with some black "tiger" stripes.
Still need to touch up the guard a bit, and apply a few more coats of finish on the wood.

I love seeing your big creations. You said in another forum you were researching riser woods when you found this wood, did you ever get a riser made with this wood in it? If so I would love to see it. Again, great knife. Thanks for sharing.
Chris
hi Chris, no riser made yet, I do have 1 block that is plenty big enough for recurve or longbow. Not sure if I will ever get around to getting a bow made from it though!
Very nice!
That ones just looks like it wants to cut something or a bunch of somethings!
