Textured Blackwood
During one of Ed's classes. 3 years ago I did a handle and guard class. I was really stuggling with fit and design at that time. He taught me a lot during that class. As a bonus he taught me how to carve/ texture handles. I had not practiced any carving or texturing except on a few sheaths. This morning after planting the garden.

Bing, it looks like you were paying attention in class, 'cause that is a class act. I've always really enjoyed the texturing Ed did on his handles and sheaths. Looks like you have it down pat. -Jim-

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! That TOTALLY changed the look of that knife....and I mean in a GOOD way.
Great job Bing! Let that imagination run...and there's no telling what you can come up with. Now, tape the handle and the blade off, and put a single fuller around the guard! ![]() One of the reasons I started doing the Carving/Texturing is that at the time, it was something that nobody else was doing. Apparently it's something folks like....because I've been seeing a lot of it lately. Who knows...maybe in the end I can contribute something helpful to this wonderful community we share!

Yep...
I agree. Ed's the guy and I figure that will be my next class with him
![]() I forgot to ask what kind of tool are you using to do the texturing, and what kind of bit? Thanks Bruce! Dana |

Ed, Ask and you recieve. Guard is fullered.
![]() Karl, I plan on bring it along. I just need to do a little touching up. Probably won't have time to get a sheath made though. Dana / Mike, I use a Turbo Carver air powered. It is a less expensive than the GRS model that Ed has. I used the.080 ball on this and sheaths. I have a few smaller ones that I have not tried on anything yet. I still need to do a little touch up on this one. Here is another pic with the guard fullered. Bing MLazyB Custom Knives Blade Show tester table 24P-A |

Very nice. IT was good before but that little detail of fullering the guard made all the difference.
