Venison Roast Serving set w/ Question??

[Bobby Urban]

I am working on this fork to complete a serving set for a housewarming gift and need a small piece of Padauk to match the slicer handle.  When I made the slicer I used the only small piece of Padauk I had not realizing I would need more to complete a set.  Because I liked the slicer so much I decided to pound a serving fork out of a 1/2" piece of stainless round stock I have and may not have enough wood to finish the set.  Where are you buying your handle wood?  Or, possibly, does anyone have a small piece in the 4x1x1" range they want to sell or trade to me?  

I am pleased with how the fork is turning out for my first try at this. I did not split it in the traditional manner because I was afraid to get the stainless too hot.  I split it with a cut off wheel so the fork is not completely forge built.  I just did not know what the heat would do to the stainlessness???  Because I do not need to heat treat or temper the fork I thought it would be more practical to go the stainless route.  Anyone know how forge heat effects stainless?  More pics to follow as I get the set finished up.

I have 4 pieces of Padauk that are about 5 x 8 x 1/2" each. You're more than welcome to them. I'm sure 2 of the pieces would more than be enough for your fork.

I'm in waterford, about an hour away from fowlerville. Feel free to pm me if you're interested in the pieces.

Thanks fish - I already have a piece coming in the mail but really appreciate the offer.  As soon as I get it I will be adding a handle to the fork and posting pics of the set.

Awesome! Looking forward to the final pics. Love the knife that's for sure. Will a piggy back sheath be in the works for this sexy pair?
