So iv been making knives again, went with the stone effect once again.
I thought it would be a bit different to use fat wood as a handle, as in some respects it will already be stabilised. There is a lot to be said for using fat wood, personally I think it make a great handle material which look and feel very nice. But there is a reason why makers avoid it... As it clogs up all your tools, sand paper doesn't stand a couple of passes before it turns into leather and I had to brush my files with a wire brush after a few strokes.
I persevered with it until the end and ended up with this little beauty, but I don't think I want to work with fat wood again.
