Help me choose a handle material.....
Hey guys so I'm working on a project for another auction. Its for a beefmaster cattle organization my stepdad is in, I believe its called the Lone Star Beefmaster Breeders organization or something like that. If I can get it done, they want a symbol burnt into the handle for the auction. My question for everyone here is what wood would look good with a star burnt into it. Its also going to have copper/stainless combination mosaic pins in the handle. Any input y'all can give me is much appreciated. In the picture it's the larger knife on bottom.

My $.02 - you gotta go with Cow Bone! Burns decently, and goes along with your theme.
Good luck! __________________ AT "We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends." Shel Silverstein Last edited by ATalley; 08-12-2015 at 04:55 PM. |

Maple is usually the wood of choice when it comes to heat coloring, wire inlay, or burning patterns ...

You ever saw beefwood. Looks like a steak. Neat stuff. Don't know how it would take to branding though. Some woods are real sensitive to that kind of thing.

Will brand nicely , but I would maybe opt for a laser etch , be a nice sharp looking burn __________________ R.Watson B.C. Canada |

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'm gonna go with the mesquite since I have some pins that go really nicely with it.
