Post by Jeffinn »

I added a new Schrade factory blade to this one along with some dark green dyed, stabilized, Leopardwood handles. It cleaned up pretty nice!

That is some cool wood Jeff. Never seen that before. Excellent grain and color. Would that be a hard wood? Beautiful and aptly named. Thanks for showing it. ::tu::

Yes, it’s considered a hardwood. It’s fairly dense but seemed to be easily sanded and shaped.
