Just a quick look at some composite we are working on.
This is some composite we are working on to use on our own knives and eventually to resell to other knifemakers and gun smiths to use on their knives and pistol grips. You will be seeing it on our own work starting this month (we have been using our own composite for around 10yrs but the same resins and fabrics aren't available at our new location so we had to come up with some new blends) and sheets of it will be available for sale sometime in May.
The small pieces are just sample swatches made from scraps so we can get an idea how how the different colors look once sealed with resin. They have numerous flaws since we will not be using them.
The full sized sheets have no flaws and can be ground down to vary which color is the predominate color. For example with the green sheet you can have it mostly green with black highlights, or grind it down a tad and have it mostly black with green highlights (as you can see in one area towards the center).
