Kaj has supplied with a lot of wood to help me with my knife making and turning.
This handle uses more traditional materials. He saw the knife with the Purple Heart and liked the colour.
Birch Bark spacers, Thin strips of elk horn. Masur Birch for the handle.
Measure, Mark, Drill, File to fit.

Before gluing with epoxy I layed the materials out in order of gluing.
The whole process took about 2 hours.

I like it AJM when you shape the handle do you intend to keep some of the bark on the birch piece?

I am not entirely sure. These piece of masur birch was prepared as fire wood. I will shape it to the profile that feels nice and if the bark is still there then so be it. The only thing i really think about is the band colours. I will take some pictures later I will do the first “Rough” shaping after college.
