MAKE YOUR KNIVES STAND OUT Pair of Purple STABILIZED 5x2 CEDAR Wood Knife Scales

Description

This is for a pair (2 scales) of High Quality Purple Marbled style STABILIZED (impregnated) WOOD knife handles (Scales). They roughly measure
5”x
2” and are usually at least 3/8th inch thick (1
/4” is allowed either direction due to sanding and preparation. Please M
essage me if different or exact size is needed). I try to provide you with the most material possible to allow for a
ny while you’re shaping
, as well as allowing for those of us with big paws.
These scales are made from beautiful hand-selected Cedar grown, milled and cut in western Kentucky. I use dyed Resin (epoxy) for the Purple Marbled effect, and also heat activated Stabilizing Resin (the very popular and well preforming Cactus Juice) in making these scales. These are gorgeous Knife handles and will set your knifes apart from the rest!
ALL OF THE THESE SCALES HAVE BEEN STABILIZED. If you are unfamiliar with wood stabilization; Stabilizing wood is very very important, especially for wood that is being used on a knife. Stabilizing helps prevent the wood from expanding and contracting in various temperatures and humid environments. Non-Stabilized knife handles will move and crack over time during changing Atmospheric conditions.
These scales have been submersed in a special type of resin, then placed in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum then pulls the air out of the wood over time. Since they are submerged in resin, the resin gets pulled into and fills the small pores and gaps inside of the wood. When the vacuum process is completed, the scales are left to soak for several hours. Then they are placed in a oven and heated to at least 200°F for an hour or however long is needed, contingent of thickness. This causes the resin inside of the wood to harden, thus solidifying the once porous wood into a fixed hardened knife handle that’s extremely durable and will last for generations to come.
The photos in this auction may not be the exact blanks you received but will be very similar as I have made several pairs and have not photographed them all.
P.S. Feel free to message me and ask about making a custom size for swords, pen blanks, bottle stoppers, or other projects. I can also make the same type of pattern with different woods and/or colors of for design. I can make your ideas. I can get really creative with knife scales and I am equipped to try just about anything you’d like, so feel free to message me about special orders.
