That is a very hard decision. The front looks way different than the back. Maybe koa as you have stated. I was think some sort of dyed maple if it has been stabilized. Very difficult...

Merry Christmas Knife Dogs!! Enjoy the season. Be blessed.

Those are very nice stitches. Clean as can be…

Bob I do the same. Most are gifts or donated to a worthy cause. I have helped dozens make a knife. It’s a social activity for me.

Welcome to KD.

A long time ago, I think Anthony Self or another member did a how to on the installation. It was interesting as he created a little shelf for the glass to sit on. It might have been Bossdog. It may have been someone else, My memory is fading a bit and it was probably 10 years ago.
