Re: 2019 Handles
Don’t worry, there more to come! I have about a month or two backlog with some R&D time in the middle to work on a new offering.

Re: 2019 Handles
Who can guess why the client likes this color, there was a very specific reason? Dyed and stabilized maple burl with elm and ebony spacers. Killer design!

Detailed shots of this nickel silver/black micarta/ebony handle. First try with metal spacers, I nailed it!

Re: 2019 Handles
For sure!
Are the black spacers required to ensure a strong bond to the metal, or purely aesthetic?
