Very tidy Stuart!....
....Did you use tape or anything to get such clean lines or muscle relaxants and freehand?
Just seen this thread Stu - I like that: good idea and execution - I now have another thing on my list of 'Must try ...."
VEry nice! I've read that section of Waylands site before, but I'd even struggle to draw an aesthetically pleasing design, let alone then carve it into the wood. Might give it a go though - practice makes perfect!
you could even just print something off the internet and transfer that onto the wood if you wanted
Now thats a good idea! Cheers Stuart.....
nice job, I like stuff like this, I've got the tools just need to get on with doing some
how did you hold the knife? with a vice and use both hands to "draw" the design? or did you hold with one hand and "draw" with the other?
no problem
some pictures of what you end up with would be good
cheers

if i continue to do knife handles in the way that i did this one (and don't tape blade up 'cos i don't want to get it sticky ) i will end up cutting myself, and probably quite badly. you could just get a g-clamp and just clamp it to the edge of a table, that should work just fine.......in fact, why on earth didn't i think of that before, that'd stop her from worrying so much i'm sure. thanks for making me think
cheers
