Padauk and osage

[EwokArcher]

Finished this one for my wife. 38#@26 Learned a lot, if I don't make any of the same mistakes on the next one I'll be much better for it!
First time riser over lay, first time I beam, and first time doing multi wood handle.
 
 
 
 
Thanks for looking and for all the help.

Came out very nice.  How did you like working with  Padauk?

[EwokArcher]

I didn't have any trouble and I think it smells really good personally. My core lam was red elm so the smell combination that came shaping this riser was pretty satisfying.

Very nice.

Looks good! I like it.

[EwokArcher]

Thanks you guys. I haven't figured out what to use on the strike plate yet, probably gonna go with something black and low profile so the red can shine.

Very nice!
