Cuttin wood today and I had a big chunk of TX Ebony that is just riddled with cracks. That said I was able to pull a few blanks for myself but I had this chunk here that made me sad. Sad because it was beautiful and I could not even get a pen blank out of it. Well I ripped it in half just to look inside and it is just amazing grain orientation. I threw them on the floor upset that this wood was a waste. Well I finished up my cuttin and took another look and placed them side by side book matched and thought KnifeScales!!!!! Well it is impossible for me to know less about knife making so here I am. They are cracked but I am sure a bit of CA and a clamp will close them or you can open them up some more and pack with Turquoise. So anyways, they are free to whomever wants to take on the task. If you can use them great if not then do what I could not, toss them in the trash. I am not asking for anything in return and I will cover shipping, if you love them and feel compelled to throw something my way that is cool to but not required. First to claim is the winner.

Demmy's - 7"x3"x0.5" The taper starts at 2.5" up.

Chris,
How far in does the crack go? If you measured from the inside of the piece to the crack how much room is there? It its 1 1/4 or larger I will take them my man.

heres a pic of "The Lungs" I traced out the cracks I could see w/ white paint pen and added some rulers. You should be able to get a 1.5"x4.5" set. PM me your address and I will get them out to you.

Got it boxed up and wouldn't you know TX Ebony is afraid of the dark so I had to toss in an extra hard piece of wood to keep it company.

Got the wood today Chris and thanks for the extra! I will return the nice gesture soon. This stuff is reaaaaaally cool! Of course I had to sand it to see what it would look like finished up and was very surprised. Its going to look extra nice on a knife, really cool figure and colors. I can't wait to get started on one. Let me know if you have any more ;) Thanks again Chris

So I had a little time while some knives are in the oven I decided to put that TX Ebony on a blade Ive had sitting around for awhile. I wanted to give the knife an old look so I left some of the cracks in the handle and put some divots in the liner material on the underside. I filled the cracks mostly with CA but left a little open on the top. Anyway, here it is, I just need to polish it up and sharpen.

Justturnin, shoot me your address and I will ship it out to you. Just think of it as payment for your generous offer for the set of scales.

OHH Man, I just got a package in the mail. It was a box but it had a blade sticking out of the side and the mail man was mad at me.........

Kidding it was wrapped perfectly. This thing is amazing. You really outdid yourself. Now I need to come up with a way to display this bad boy.

Display it on your belt when you go out into the woods!!!!!!!!! Let me know if you need a sheath, I can hook you up with one.
