It has been quite a whiles since my last post. I’ve started working again so I have less time (and desire) to sit in front of the computer when I get home. But I’ve been doing a lot of projects over christmas and before – I think I have 10+ projects that I would like to show you!

My latest thing are making knife handles for damascus steel blades that I’ve found on eBay and the likes. This particular example is currently in process and the images are from last Friday.

I recently broke the blade for my “cut straight” japanese saw so I have ordered new supplies from my friend with japanese connections. So instead of just getting a new blade I also got a coping saw (which I used for this project), two chisels and a new marking knife. The funny thing is that the blade arrived from India on the same day – and then I just felt like playing around with the new tools.

What I have basically done is to take a piece of ebony and cut it through in arcs and gluing it back together with veneer inside each cut.

Interresting and clearly hand made – looking forward to showing you the final result.
