Leverletto Kit used Box Elder Burl :-)

Post by YHWH-NISSI »

I have been busy this weekend working on my first Leverletto kit! I thought that I would post some pictures of it since I just finished today :D
I am also working on a Leverletto using Dyed Giraffe Bone Scales. I hope that you enjoy these pictures, I sure had fun doing it! A whole lot of work though whew :!:

I thought that the Box Elder Burl was just a very pretty wood but kind of hard to work with.

Well done, Perry! The burl looks great. Can we call you mangler now? :wink:
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.

Hi Mr. Jarvis,
No I'm not a mangler, yet :!: hehe I do want to try to do some file work on my next one, I have just been a little afraid :shock: I guess it is just step by step at this stuff, and more and more money :shock:
Thank you for your compliment my friend! :D

I agree, it looks like a real busy project--it turned out real nice though.

Thank you Mr. Ratsuph & Mr. Claudester,
Thank you for your kindness and compliments. This is my first Leverletto and second knife kit that I have ever done. I think it is getting better little by little. I learn more each time I try a new project. Thank you for the encouragement 8) :D :D

Hi Mr. J.A.C.,
I thought it looked very nice online and then after it is polished it really does have some nice colors and designs in it. I can see why Mr_Edge used it ( He has excellent taste if I do say so myself - hehe)! Thanks for your input my friend!
