Built some fancy bolsters this week!
from left to right we have -
Thunderstorm Kevlar over natural w/ red accent liner

Red G10 bolster w/ amboyna burl w/ Black accent liner. I messed up the first time around so I had to flip the wood over and re-glue the accent liner this is why it looks blac. look and next photo and you can see the Amboyna between the black liner. When I shape it the black on the top will disappear.

Black wood Bolster w/ dyed Box Elder Burl over Black w/ white accent liner.

Spalted Maple Burl bolster w/ Dyed Buckeye Burl over Natural w/ Black and Purple accent liner.

Looks like a great batch coming this week, that Warthog is going to be real nice.

Can't wait to see the s35vn

The trio for this Thursday looks great Chris. I sense a speedy sellout on this batch. Besides the cool handle set-ups, I dig the hammer texturing on these. Nice work! :thumbup:
