Sweet Gum pods and mokume

Ran across these interesting scales over at Pat Ankrom's and thought I'd give them a try...Seed pods from a sweet gum tree in white aluminite resin. Interesting pattern to them. The bolsters are 3 metal mokume and I gave the copper a patina to bring out the pattern. Steel is flat ground 3/32" CPM154CM ht'd by Jeff Mutz. Took the pics about 2 minutes before a heavy snow hit, so they're a bit dark.

I have been wanting to see the sweet gum pods on a knife. They look pretty good.

Like the coffin shaped handle also. Great job!
