Dave Armour 36 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Latest one off my bench. 4 1/2” O1 utility with a bronze guard. Handle is dyed & stabilized Hempwood. I don’t do a lot of mirror finishes, but decided to buff this one out. Thanks for looking. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It is compressed industrial hemp fibers. I’m playing with my first board of it. It really needs stabilized before use as a handle, but I’m liking it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Webster 51 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The color and pattern of the hempwood elevates your work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s 4/4 thickness by 5.25” wide. It’s actually a little lighter color than the picture makes it look like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
