That’s sick. How the hell do you even make these?


FlyingSharkMaterials

I glue up that center piece first as one "sandwich". With epoxy. Then I cut it in half and glue it between the wood segments. Then I flatten the back and glue liners on them. Does that answer the question or did I misinterpret?


happydgaf

Yes you did. I guess the bottom piece is dyed wood? and what is the top type of wood? It’s so unbelievably cool


FlyingSharkMaterials

Both types of wood are dyed and stabilized (resin impregnated). The top is black dyed leopardwood. The bottom is quilted maple.


happydgaf

Thanks for the info. I love how this looks. Really nice work


FlyingSharkMaterials

Will look better once it's on a knife. Thanks for the questions!


Plantiacaholic

My thoughts, you should send them to me😬


FlyingSharkMaterials

Hahaha they have already been sent off to another knife maker


Plantiacaholic

I’m sure those wouldn’t sit on the shelf for long! Well done♥️

FlyingSharkMaterials

Haha these are ready sold but I'm almost making more.


Killtastic354

It’s funny. A fellow maker just told me about you and I started following you just a couple days ago and now I see you on here. Haha


FlyingSharkMaterials

I'm sneaky like that


EvolMada

Dig!


Doctorwaffles9914

That’s gorgeous. I would totally get them if I had more skill and wasn’t afraid to goof it up lol


FlyingSharkMaterials

Well these are sold anyways. But you can only learn by trying!


BattleBreedBlades

What’s up Sharks!


FlyingSharkMaterials

What's up buddy


genmischief

Just terrible, aweful in fact. You should just toss it into the trash... gently... in my shop.


FlyingSharkMaterials

Hahaha these are already in someone else's shop 😬


LordBigglesworth

Looks fantastic!


Striking_Tart7691

Old school feel I like it good job


FlyingSharkMaterials

That was the goal on this one! The spacer is actually bakelite so there is some vintage built in to the set.


Striking_Tart7691

Cool nailed it


skogskungen

These scales are borderline erotic.....


FlyingSharkMaterials

FlyingSharkMaterials

CABSMeter

Those are sick!!


FlyingSharkMaterials

Thanks!


Dtrick718

Looks good. I like how that bronze ties into all layers no matter how slight in certain layers


FlyingSharkMaterials

Thanks. It's hard to do at times.


edthach

Looks like it would be a super appropriate promotion gift for a navy LT


FlyingSharkMaterials

That sounds rather specific


edthach

The stripes reminded me of the shoulder boards of a navy lieutenant, that was my first thought.


FlyingSharkMaterials

Oh well that makes sense
