Title: More elk
Post by: Mesophilic on November 25, 2019, 03:14:16 pm

Here's another one.  Elk antler and stabilized walnut with red liners.  52100 steel, 3.75 inch blade. 

Home stabilized the pithy part of the antler with a foodsaver vacuum  canister and slow cure epoxy.  Worked really well.

Thanks, guys.  I've got one more blank that's ready to go and it's going to be large chopper.
