This is a one of a kind handcrafted item. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will receive. This listing is for a pair of bookmatched stabilized Maple Burl knife scales, the perfect knifemaker's material for the handle of your next knife. Each scale measures approximately 5/16" x 1-3/4"W x 5-7/8"L. The burl of the wood adds very interesting and unique color variations and designs making them highly figured. These scales were stabilized using cactus juice stabilizing resin, which is considered the best stabilizing resin on the market. After thoroughly drying the wood it was placed under vacuum to remove all of the air, after which the resin is given several days to fully penetrate the wood, and then they are cured. The stabilizing process makes then very solid and strong. There may be some slight superficial pits in the wood, but otherwise they will be very solid. Any pits can be filled with CA glue, if necessary. Some of the pictures may show the scales after wetting with oils in order to give you an idea of the final color when finished. There are also some pictures of the raw wood to show what it will look like when you receive it. The scales have been milled to the size and surfaced to the extent shown, but they are not sanded or polished, since they will be finished as part of the knifemaking process. These are READY to SHIP.

Front and back have been sanded flat with a drum sander. Each Side: Approximately 1 9/16" x 5 3/4" x 3/8" Weight 113g What is Stabilizing? Stabilizing wood is the process of impregnating the wood fibers with resin. This is done by drying the wood to 0% moisture in an oven and then sealing the wood until use. Then, I can either soak it in a bath of colored resin until capillary action takes the resin in through the pores of the wood, and then baking to harden the resin. After that, I can either do that with another color, or do a full hardening procedure to finish it up. To do this, I then fully submerge the wood in resin inside my vacuum chamber. I draw all the air out of the chamber with a pump until it is air free and no more air is inside the wood. This leaves the wood fully submerged in resin and void of any air and moisture. Once all the air is out, I can let the air back in the chamber. This draws the resin into the fibers of the wood where the water and air once was. This process can take upwards of several weeks to complete, but the benefits of it are well worth it. Why Stabilizing? The most obvious reason is that I can get some really cool looking colored woods in the process. But, more than that, stabilizing the wood does just that, it stabilizes the wood from movement. This is because the moisture is removed and replaces with hardened resin. Normally, woods will absorb and release moisture based on their surroundings. This isn't a good thing when you need the wood to stay put, such as in pens, knife handles, etc. It helps the wood resist moisture absorption and in turn helps it stay put. Additionally, some woods are just too light and punky and can't be used for most things. However, stabilizing that wood makes it very durable and allows you to use it for things you couldn't previously. **Although these were flat when processed, if the wood wants to move, it will move. Stabilized or not. Stabilizing helps minimize this movement, but if you receive them and they have moved, let me know and we can figure out how to either flatten them or get them replaced, etc. Sometimes, with knife scales already cut and flattened, they will move slightly over time. It's good to make sure they're nice and flat before adding them to a knife handle. It may be as simple as misting them or slowly heating them when clamped flat. *Due to the nature of the various woods and burls, the wood may include voids, checks, or inclusions that are unseen on the surface. This is mitigated to the best extent possible through the stabilization process, but some issues may still arise.

This is a one of a kind item. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will receive. This listing is for a single set of bookmatched rare, unique Desert Ironwood knife scales, the perfect knifemaker's material for the handle of your next knife. Each scale measures approximately 3/8" x 1-1/2"W x 6-1/4"+L. Some of the pictures show the scales after wetting with oils in order to give you an idea of the final color when finished. There are also some pictures of the raw wood to show what it will look like when you receive it. The scales have been milled to size and surfaced to the extent shown, but they are not sanded, since they will be finished as part of the knifemaking process. These are READY to SHIP.

We have teamed up with Marc Johnson of Chopped Boards and Blocks to bring you these gorgeous Chaos knife scales. These scales are composed of 14 types of wood (Maple, Walnut, Padauk, Purple Heart, Wenge, White Oak, Hickory, Cherry, Tiger Wood, Zebrawood, Movingue, Canary Wood, and Black Limba) glued together, and stabilized for additional support and stability. Note: Be advised that these are end-grain scales. As such, they may fluctuate with humidity, and while working due to expansion and contraction of the stabilizing resin as it heats and cools during grinding. Setting these scales on a liner, and clamping them flat to a knife until the scales settle will help with stability. Hard, polymerising, non-oil-based finish such as cyanoacrylate is also advisable.

Knife scales made from Micarta have become popular over the last couple of decades. Other synthetics are also making inroads and replacing traditional wood or antler knife handles. Micarta is a process by which layers of organic fabrics (paper, linen, canvas etc.) are impregnated with epoxy resin and then sandwiched together under great pressure to form a stable and rock-hard slab. Micarta slabs can be one color or a collage of colors giving them an array of appearances and textures. It’s not all that difficult to make your own Micarta but having made dozens of Micarta slabs allow me to offer some tips that will make the process easier and less wasteful. 1) Making Micarta is a smelly and gooey process and the epoxy fumes are toxic. Always make Micarta in an open, well-ventilated space. I wear a respirator and make my Micarta outside under the open shed where I make my knives and bows. Even though I’m wearing a respirator I still have a large fan blowing behind me to push the fumes away. I have known people who became quite ill when they attempted to make Micarta in an enclosed space and did not use a respirator. 2) Before you start making your Micarta slab get everything you’ll need and place it near or on your work table. Since you are working with epoxy you’ll need to work quickly. However, I’m going to explain a method that I use that will greatly extend the time needed to make your Micarta and at the same time will not sacrifice the hardening qualities of the epoxy resin. 3) These are the materials I use: a) 2 ½” X 12” strips of construction paper, 50-80 pound cardstock, linen or canvas sheets. Burlap can be used as well. b) Nitrile gloves. I use three pair for each Micarta making session. c) Mixing tool. I use a disposable plastic knife. d) Wax paper e) Respirator f) Paper cup. I use two or three cups per session. g) Two 1”x 4” x 15” pine boards h) Bench mounted vise i) Four C-clamps j) Electronic kitchen scale k) Epoxy resin and hardener. I purchase epoxy by the gallon at Home Depot. I place a large piece of cardboard on my workbench to keep the epoxy from spilling onto the bench while I’m working. The epoxy calls for ten drops of hardener for each ounce of resin. A typical paper Micarta slab will use about four ounces of epoxy while linen or canvas Micarta will use as much as six or even seven ounces. IMPORTANT: When mixed according to directions the epoxy begins to harden in eight to eleven minutes depending on the ambient temperature. That does not give you much time to work. Now most hobbyists put less than the directed amount of hardener because they want to extend the time limit. But this is not good technique and the tactic is unnecessary since one can still follow the manufacturer’s directions and obtain top quality Micarta but at the same time not be so rushed. So here is what I do: a) Always measure out the amount of resin you intend to use. DON’T GUESS. That is bad technique. b) For paper Micarta I’ll use two paper cups each pre-filled with two fluid ounces of resin. I will not add the hardener until I’m ready to start. When I’m making linen or canvas Micarta I will pre-fill three paper cups with 2-ounces each of resin. c) I will put two pairs of Nitrile gloves on since one pair is going to get all slimed with epoxy and I need a clean pair underneath when I fold the wax paper over the slab in order to form a neat rectangular package. d) When I am ready and all the materials are in place I will put twenty drops of hardener in the first cup and then mix the solution with my plastic knife. I have already placed a sheet of wax paper on the cardboard and I have the sheets of fabric ready for use. e) Since I am only working with two ounces from each cup I have more than enough time to use the allocated epoxy to start the job. Let’s assume I’m making Micarta from construction paper—but the same process works for all fabrics. f) I place the first paper sheet on the wax paper and then saturate it with epoxy. I’ll then flip the sheet over and saturate the other side with epoxy. Then I place another sheet on the first sheet and saturate it with epoxy. The process continues until I finish the first 2-ounces of epoxy in the paper cup. g) When the first 2-ounces are gone I’ll put a clean sheet of construction paper (or linen or canvas or cardstock) on the last saturated sheet and then quickly mix in twenty drops of hardener into the next cup that is already filled with resin. Then I continue the process. Mixing in twenty drops in the second cup takes about ten seconds. As mentioned, 4-ounces of epoxy usually suffice for a ½-inch slab of construction paper or cardstock. After you’ve completed saturating the sheets then remove the top pair of Nitrile gloves and then carefully wrap the wax paper around the entire package. I always keep an extra pair of Nitrile gloves next to me in case I need to remove one pair and quickly place another clean pair over the pair that is next to my skin. It’s a safeguard that I suggest you get in the habit of employing. Now some people build forms in which to place the package. I find that step unnecessary because I then place the completed package between my two pieces of wood and then, holding the wood/package firmly, I slip it into my bench vise. This serves the same purpose of a form because I can then quickly tighten the vise to hold the wood/epoxy package in place. It always works. I then begin placing my C-clamps on the wood/package carefully tightening the clamps (and further tightening the vise) until everything is absolutely secure. Some people claim that one should not tighten the wood/package too much but I find their reasons unconvincing. If you have followed the product directions and added the proper amount of hardener drops AND you have followed my directions and worked with only 2-ounces of epoxy at a time then by the time you place the wood/package into the vise it will already be very hot! In other words, it is already hardening. There will be essentially no spilling or leaking of the epoxy out and you will have an extremely hard slab in about 24-hours time. I leave the wood/package in the vise (with the C-clamps attached) for at least one full day. After which I’ll remove the wood/package from the vise and then remove the C-clamps. I’ll remove as much of the wax paper as possible and, using a coping saw I’ll trim the edge of the slab to get a peek of the finished product. I always keep about ten or twelve Micarta slabs ready to use and when a blade is ready I’ll select a slab. REMEMBER that working with a completed Micarta package is also dangerous if you don’t wear a respirator. Like before I shape the Micarta scales outside with my large fan next to my small belt sander blowing all the epoxy particulate away. NEVER take chances around Micarta either when making the package or when sanding the scales. Micarta made properly will probably last longer than the knife blade itself. It will not shrink or expand and is essentially waterproof. I often “paint” the completed and attached scales with a layer of 5-minute epoxy. This makes the handles quite smooth and some people like a rougher feel to their knife handles. But I’ve never liked knife scales with knurls or grooves or deep checkering or finger channels because in a working situation you will require a handle that is designed to allow you to adjust your grip in order to lessen fatigue and injury to the skin. So I’m just fine with smooth grips. Years of experience has shown me what works and what amounts to fad.

This is a one of a kind handcrafted item. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will receive. This listing is for a single set of bookmatched stabilized Spalted Maple Burl knife scales, the perfect knifemaker's material for the handle of your next knife. Each scale measures approximately 5/16" x 1-13/16"W x 5-7/8"L. The spalting of the wood (caused by the initial stages of decomposition) adds very interesting and unique color variations and designs. These scales were stabilized using cactus juice stabilizing resin, which is considered the best stabilizing resin on the market. After thoroughly drying the wood it was placed under vacuum to remove all of the air, after which the resin is given several days to fully penetrate the wood, and then they are cured. Although these scales were spalted, and thus soft/brittle initially, the stabilizing process makes then very solid and strong. There may be small superficial pits in the wood, but otherwise they will be very solid. Any pits can be filled with CA glue. One scale in this set has a missing chip in a corner (as shown in the photos). We have discounted the price to reflect this slight defect. Some of the pictures may show the scales after wetting with oils in order to give you an idea of the final color when finished. There are also some pictures of the raw wood to show what it will look like when you receive it. The scales have been milled to the size and surfaced to the extent shown, but they are not sanded or polished, since they will be finished as part of the knifemaking process. These are READY to SHIP.
