all wooden sgian??

Yep, that was me. Sorry to chime in so late

Here's the pic again.

I drew it out on the piece of wood and then used a band saw to rough it out. Next I used a dremel to smooth out and round over all the corners to get the shape of the handle. I then got out the belt sander and used that to shape the blade. Finally I got out the palm sander to get it all smooth. The finish is a spray poly or varnish, can't remember which right now.

I currrently have a 1.5" square by about 12" piece of ebony that I'm going to turn into a handle for a dirk and one or two sgain dubhs. Not sure when I'll start that project but probably late April or into May. I'll post the pics in the DIY section when I start.

Livingston I presume!

Sorry I couldn't remember that you were the artist behind the all wood sgian dubh.

It's a beautiful piece.

Cheers

Livingston, that's the one! Beautiful work brother.

Thank you.

The ebony ones on the drawing board will just be one piece, the handle and sheath, no blade. I might be talked out of the second one if they both work out right.
