Yew Burr on a Mick Spain Bushy

[Dougster]

I've just finished this in Yew Burr. It's from a Mick Spain 01 blade bushcraft blade with brass corby bolts and 6mm lanyard tube and black fibre liners.

S'pose I'll ave to knock up a sheath now.

Hope you like, thanks for looking.

Looks good mate, nice work as usual
Has it got a home lined up or is it a user for yourself?

 

[Zammo]

That really is a lovely looking handle wood. I'm going to have to get my paws on some for my next knife.

 

[Mungo]

Love that handle, and the shape of the blade is wonderful. Carbon steel blade? Interested in sending it to me in Canada so that I can performance test it for you? I'll send you a postcard.

Cheers,

Mungo

That Yew burr is like hens teeth, I think Pikebite had one pair of scales left by mid afternoon on Sunday at the knife show.

This one is a comission for someone, who I haven't heard from for a while I hope he gets in touch soon as I love the look and feel of this one.

It's 4mm 01 carbon with 1mm black liners.

Lovely lovely wood.

Make sure you don't lick it. Yew is poisonous.

Make sure you don't lick it. Yew is poisonous.

I learned a long time ago when my lips went numb after sanding it.

Always use a dustmask now. Outside is sealed too.

 

[philaw]

I was joking; thinking the foliage and berries are poisonous, but the wood probably isn't. I use my knives for food prep, like most people, and numb body parts would put me right off.

Very nice work, that's right up my street, I like wood to look like wood (if that makes sense).

 

[Tiley]

What a beautiful piece of work!

The yew reminds me of a darker version of olive wood.

Stunning.

 

[philaw]

Oh, I didn't say that it looks like the perfect bushcraft knife. The wood is beautiful, and as a native species has a nice aesthetic for bushcrafting. The blade is a perfect length and shape.

I'm sorry if I sounded whingy.

 

[Soloman]

Thought id get one before Dougster has a woodlore style waiting list.
Have a good look at his work,inspiring.
