Osage and Purpleheart knife scales

dino · August 14, 2008, 10:13:00 AM

Hope this is ok on here.... Mods let me know if not.

I'm not much of a knife crafter, but do appreciate what you guys do here and love drooling over pics of what you all make. I get pieces of osage a purpleheart from time to time that I don't have much use for but know it would make knife scales. So instead of chucking them in the old fireplace heap, I have some sets right now that I would like to send to a couple of guys who are interested in them. They run from 3/8 to 1/2 thick about an inch wide and 4 to 8 inches long. Don't want anything for the wood, just cover what ever the shipping is. PM me if intereted. dino

Lewis you kiss up!

Who's kissing up now Frank?! I'm hoping I can start getting some shop time in so I can start making more knives again... 'course I also need to finish the shop!

I have a mess o' osage firewood (traded someone awhile back for staves he rejected after cutting and splitting) and more than enough purpleheart for the time being, but that's a very nice offer dino!

what kind of filework do those have jeremy?

dino, i dont mean to be a pain but do you have any osage with some figure in the grain? if you have some wild lookin stuff i will take it and be glad to pay you for the shipping

Chris,
I have one piece that you might be able to get a couple scales out of that has some figure, but has a crack and a knot in it too, wouldn't classify it as "wild lookin". Depending on the size you might be able to avoid the crack and knot stuff.
