Few things happened lately: I've been given a big bag of coffee bins that taste like a complete disaster. Worst coffee ever. And the good thing is I finally received a renaissance wax that I've been waiting for several weeks.
Quickly applied wax on the few handles that I completed recently and made a coffee photo session :)

Cocobolo and grenadil ferrule

As you may have guessed, I haven't epoxied handle yet. Still deciding which one to leave.



Next is my belowed Shigefusa with burl source Amboyna handle.

I'm pretty happy with how this one comes out. Still hasn't epoxied this handle but planning to do it today.

Amboyna block was big enough for 2 handles, so this is the second one. Also this is my first try with corian.



So far I'm simply blown away by Renaissance wax. It so much easier to work with compared to carnauba wax. And the results feels and looks better.
 
At least it makes a very nice background, that deep red cocobolo handle is amazing.
 
You are a very talented guy. I love the second one, and the second last one. They are all beautiful, though. You've found that balance between eye catching, and classic. I really like your style.
 
You're really turning up the heat on your handle production. All of it looks great!
 
Dude, those look great! But you need to buy more knives so you have something to put them all on:biggrin:

Be well,
Mikey
 
I wish I could… but I've already spent too much on wood :)

:lol2:

Great work on all handles :thumbsup:

organic coffee is quite healty to drink and the workers dont die of cancer due to the spray :coffeelove:
 
Excellent work, and I love the coffee background, very creative!

Stefan
 
I remember your first rehandle pictures and thought they were pretty good , but these ones look great , well done
 
Thanks guys! Appreciate your feedback. There's still a lot to learn and I hope to get a Stefan's and Mike's handles at some point in the future, as I consider them to be the best in the class.

I agree. I'm not a fan of what I see as over-the-top, extravagant handles. But all of these are super clean and classy looking. Very nice work!! The second one is my favorite as well, but they all look great.
 
So um, coffee beans make for a really cool back ground.
Have to say nice work on the handles as Well as the photos!
 
Really nice looking.

And glad to see I'm not the only Renaissance Wax addict. Love that stuff, always worth the wait. Nothing else works like it.

Yes, I guess it were your posts that persuaded me to try Renaissance Wax :thumbsup:
 
love the handles and it was a pleasure viewing your pics.
 
Great choice for a background, it's a better use than drinking it since it's bad anyway :lol2:
And the handles look very nice as well :thumbsup:
 
the look of the coffe is pretty amazing, i like to store my extra handles in coffee beans, i actually find they make for really good storage, and if its decent coffee it smells amazing :p
