Benjy's KITH BUILD

[Greg Rice]

I started working on the handle scales, i picked out a nice piece of cherry, fired up the chain saw and shreaded up about 2 gallons of shavings!

Cherry shavings are good for smoking just about anything - it imparts a sweetish smoke - mix in some oak or apple and by golly ya got a BBQ!!!! Shavings will make an even lighter smoke - good for fish! - but knife handles? This I gotta see...

I will probably mix in some pecan (for a lighter contrast and some walnut (darker contrast) should be pretty cool.

Of course, i could break out the construction paper to really freak you out.

I tried superglue but it just took to long to glue the individual pieces back together!
