Model 3 w/ Redwood Burl

[Steven Long]

Here is my Model 3...

- 1/8" O1 Carbon Steel
- 8.5" OAL
- 4" Cutting Edge
- Redwood Burl Scales, Dyed Black (sanded to 2000 grit)
- Black G10 Liners
- Carbon Fiber Pins and Lanyard Tube
- Acid Etched and Tumbled

Still needs to be sharpened. I was running out of daylight and wanted to snap a few pics of the beautiful Redwood.

Thanks for looking.

Nice stuff, good wood/ blade finish combo. Keep them coming!

Gotta love that piece of wood you chose for the handle and the blade seems to have everything going for it!

 

[Steven Long]

Thanks, guys! The Redwood turned out great. Still working on the acid etch and tumbled finish but it is getting there.

Very nice!

That finish is really nice, how long are you tumbling it and what with?

 

[Steven Long]

Thank you TS and Liam.

I am still experimenting with the tumbler but I'm using ceramic media with a few different additives. Some tumble soap, silicon carbide, and I have thrown a few other things in there. Plus I have a few things in the mail coming my way.

What kind of tumbler do you use?

I am using the vibratory tumbler from Harbor Freight. From what I have read, its all about the media you use.

Here it is all done and almost ready for shipping. Need to apply a few more coats on the sheath and let it fully dry but thats the easy part.

Thank you, Wade! I think I am finally getting the hang of the leather, for the most part
