Stabilized wood from @Texasstate on a ZHEN 12 3/4 Chef Knife kit from Woodcraft... "before and after"
My first attempt with Stabilized wood and liking the results, thanks @Texasstate for the awesome scales, advice, and answering rookie questions!

Thank you @Mike Hill! I really like to result from @Texasstate 's stabilized blanks. The colors and the patterns are so unique. I am looking forward to gifting to my Daughter. These already prompted some "ooh's, aah's and a wow" from my wife, so I'm expecting same from Daughter.

The pins are from woodcraft, link below. I like the 4MM for most chef knifes, size seems right to me while bigger seems to big. I have used the 6MM on Filet knives with mixed results.
