Today's cigar pen is made from Bolivian Rosewood, courtesy of Davis Wood Essentials. Kept the lines a little simpler, to show off this beautiful grain. ⁣ ⁣ Set in a gunmetal Big Ben kit from Penn State Industries. Finished with CA. ⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪ ⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

Fixed drop-point knife with a segmented handle, based on the tail feather pattern of a red-tailed hawk. Didn't get the reds as bright as I wanted, but the pattern still works.⁣ ⁣ Leopardwood, mesquite, and bigleaf maple.⁣ ⁣ Built almost this whole thing live on my new Twitch channel. You can catch the VODs at twitch.tv/splintersmith!⁣ ⁣ Also: the Etsy store is back! I needed a break so I put it into Vacation mode for a month or so, but I am now back to accepting commissions!⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

A custom request from an Etsy customer, this is a longer version of the coffee scoop/bag clips I've made in the past. Made from maple and sealed with Watco Butcher Block oil so it's food safe. ⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪ ⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

Behold: knives!⁣ ⁣ These are #Zhen 67-layer Damascus steel knives (except for the bread knife, which is inexplicably just regular High Carbon steel), with buckeye burl handles. I got the set of kits from @woodcraftgallery and some absolutely gorgeous wood from @daviswoodessentials. I'm so excited about this commission!⁣ ⁣ Couple in-work shots if you swipe, and I'm working a big video of the last week or so, when I worked on these knives, plus some lockblades.⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

I had a customer say they had no design preferences, just to do whatever. It's been so long since I did a knife that just shows off the woodgrain, and I had this sycamore already cut into knife scales and just sitting around, so here we are.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ▪▪▪⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

Here's a lockblade that was commissioned as a Father's Day gift for one of my father's old Navy buddies. He's a Texas Tech fan, so I incorporated a red and black stripe to kinda-sorta mimic their logo.⁣ ⁣ The main wood in the handle is cherry. The broad red and black stripes are padauk and Macassar ebony, respectively. The thin white and black stripes are Baltic birch and African blackwood, respectively. The scales are bonded with two-part epoxy, and pinned, and the whole piece is sanded to 2000-grit, sealed with CA, and then buffed with beeswax.⁣ ⁣ I'm extremely pleased with how this one came out, and had a lot of fun doing it. Check out my Etsy if you want to pick up a knife of your own.⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

Brazilian rosewood on a gunmetal Vertex click pen from Penn State Industries. That orange grain around the clip wasn't visible when I started turning, but it came out to fit perfectly around the clip, which was cool. 😎 👍 ⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!
