Rainbow -n- Osage
« on: February 02, 2016, 10:52:08 am »
Was asked to make a knife with rainbow obsid and Osage burl. I don't have it all pinned yet, but I figured it was close enough to post. Here's a look at the colors in the blade before it was final shaped.



And what the overall piece will look like when it is put together. The base is santos mahogany.



God Bless!

I like that!! That character osage is fantastic.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

I agree Fred. The mahogany is soft, but also has a very clean look. I think the 2 woods make this set stand out nicely!

That's awesome. Love the handle design and that point is great!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

Beautiful work...that osage will darken over time and add more patina to the overall look.

That is a nice piece of rock and a heck of a display when you get it finished, Scott.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

The knife is exceptional but you could look a long time to find that antler. Is that elk?
