A little green

I finally put a blade into a handle I finished a while back.
The wood is Tiger-Strip Maple, dyed green with aniline dye.
Sorry about the reflection, but it was a cloudy day.

As usual Rick beautiful knife, for those of you who dont own one of Ricks knifes the pictures do not do them justice I own three of them and they are truly all works of art. Something I will hand down to my grandchildren.

Another great looking knife Rick. From looking at your site it seems that you are building quite a following with your knives. One of these days I may have to step away from the belt sander and order one. My handles never turn out quite as nice though the blades do the job just fine.

Clifford,
There are some techniques that make a big difference in the handle outcome.
If you visit some professional knifemaking sites, they have forums and free instructions that will really improve your knives.

That is one fine looking knife Rick. I am no much for the golor of green but that is a beauty for sure. Anyone would be honored to have such a knife.
Thanks for letting us have a look see.
