Handle - Mortise and Tenon Construction Handle

[Marko Tsourkan]

I still don't see it.
And I have no problem with the killer weed from hell, as the DEA refers to it!
Anyway, it looks more like coke to me.

Nope, no coke. Satanite! Fresh from Hell. The coffee grinder is to grind it even finer, so it's easier to snort.

I'd be interested in some details on how you fabricate the rectangular mortise for the tang.

That I will leave to you to figure out.

Very nice Marko.
Great looking saya too.

Thank Mark.
One thing about Lignum Vitae is that in a few months time, it will turn green and the handle and pin will match the saya.

I mistakenly got some once from a wood turner's estate.
It was a log chunk labeled ironwood but felt like it was coated with soap.
I kept a few small pieces to play with later.
The pieces I cut turned a dark blue green after a while.
