Wood scales heat/moisture expansion?
I have made a few full tang knives by now, and a few of them have the same problem.
The scales has expanded and I can see and feel a noticeable rise above the tang. The worst case is with some wood scales from some of my own wood, but i also see the issue with some of my store bought wood. I expect its temperature or moisture expansion, can this be the case? How do i avoid this from happening? I have 2 small kids, so my wife wont let me keep the knifes in the house (we have very sparse storage place), so i keep them in my cold workshop. Could this be the issue? I hope you some pointers for me, its so sad seing it on knifes i used a lot of time on :-) Last edited by Rasmus Kristens; 03-22-2018 at 02:39 PM.
