Show off that colored handle

[The Edge]

What is the turquoise material? A mica powder in resin or similar?

It's actually dyed box elder burl.

Both of those handles were made by Bart Chen (Nicestslice on IG). If there’s a specific design that I have in mind, I’ll sometimes supply the materials if he doesn’t have it.

Thank you!

I only upgraded the ferrule, enough color?

First batch of handles ever

These are not all handles yet but you can see the different colors. I actually like the brown and copper colors best.

I can't see the pictures

Well, this has been driving me crazy that people can then can’t see my pictures. I just found a place in settings that I changed so that everyone can see my photos. What I don’t understand is why some people could see them before? Let me know if you can see them now?

Seems like you guys like wood and bone? I haven't played with either much but did buy the gear for stabilizing wood.

That's a nice handle, nice close up pic too. The new knife thread couldn't see that it was dyed masur birch, so attractive!
