Some Special Zav Handles

[SixZeroFour]

A parcel arrived yesterday that was loaded with some really cool @zavod44 handles.

PLUS while at the mini-meet in SoCal @Troy presented me a really special handle also made by Brian...

You need to check these out!!



Long grain Zebrawood:



Walnut Single Screws:


Walnut and Mahogany 2-Rivets:



End Grain Zebrawood with SJ bale lock:



And last but not least this amazing little beauty. I believe it is made of Padauk?? (Confirmed as Cocobolo) ... and possibly ground up unicorn horns? This thing is really sweet. My camera isn't even doing the rich graining justice! The custom box is a work of art on it's own let alone the handle - Thank you both very very much!






Zav's badass handles have inspired me to try and learn how to make some myself... we'll see how that goes

Such a cool little piece of craftsmanship!

Thanks again guys,

Matt

@zavod44 - amazing work!  That end-grain Zebra wood is what I'd love for the special handles you're making for me!!

Great looking handles! The Statesman one is out of the world, congratulations!

I know I owe a few statesmen their special handles. I'll get them out this month. Promise

Those are gorgeous !!!!

Even the simple straightforward wood ones are extremely nice......wondering if Brian will get to the redwood burl at some point.....




I know he's one of the busiest people of all of us here, so I'm all about patience.....

[toolhead]

That is excellent workmanship...wow

[Harleysmoker]

Nice handles! Both Zebra wood are my favorites!
