Custom carving set, with stabilized spalted maple.

[PierreRodrigue]

Hey guys. Holy crap! Another Christmas in upon us!

Sorry for my absence as of late. I have had some shop issues, busy with work, and life in general.

This set was commissioned a while ago, and the owner has been very patient with me. Hope its worth it!

Carving fork is high carbon, old stock, circa 1960. It had to be ground and polished, from its die stamped condition.

Blade is 240 mm S35VN

Mokume bolsters

Handles on both pieces are:

Black/white G10 liners

Stabilized spalted maple, with mosaic pins. I was very fortunate to be able to match the wood from 2 different suppliers!

Sure would like to get my fork before Christmas so I can put it to good use.

I would think it was worth the wait. Stunning. Love the Mokume . The fork is a winner.

Still don't have it? Wow.

This was a case of computer Gremlins. Some of my records were lost, some corrupted. I believe that has been resolved. I have spoken with chinacats, and am sorting it out.
