    Sgain dubh handles

    Some 40 years ago I worked through how to carve these handles. I did a nice dirk, but that's another story. Anyway, being partially retired, and having time with social distancing, gave me some time to mess around with carving again. Not sure what I'm going to do with these. Probably buy some Atlanta Cutlery blades and finish them off. Maybe keep a sgian-less dubh. Left to right is cherry, then walnut. Both stained dark and shellaced. Third is Honduran rosewood with no finish as yet. Really doesn't need it. Fittings are brass, and they were a lot of relearning. I'd like to try some nickel/German silver at some point.20200725_171656_copy_768x1365.jpg
