I promise to compile my works in a single thread soon. Here is a Saki kikumori Nihonkou, hidden tang octagonal wa conversion. Handle was shaped and routed, then just epoxied and sanded to fit the bolster. Decided to go for a “catchside” style with desert ironwood & red acrylic, this particular piece has a very nice burl on one side, the other side was boring. I also think red highlights are my jam.

Very nice work. I love my burls but also, what I call long open grain wood like that.

Acoustic is spot on. That red pops.



Edit: I know open grain is not the correct term but it works for me. :)
