First time using custom polymer

Post by Camillus »

This is a Doctors Knife that I done using Custom Polymer for the scales, I had never worked with this before and was very pleased the way it turned out. I slab cut the scales from a block of Deep Red with Gold veins and hand fitted them to the knife by sanding and gluing. Finished sanding using 6000 grit. Hope the pictures show the colors??
I plan on doing one more in another Polymer pattern.

I bought a block of what they call true stone at my local Wood Craft Store and hand made the scales from it, most guys use this material for pens, there are several different designs and colors.
