Zircote?
« on: December 06, 2010, 05:52:00 PM »
Anyone ever come across Zircote veneers or handle stock?  I found a small piece at a woodworking show and it made a beautiful knife handle.  Very hard and dense!

Here's a bow I made for a guy in Ireland. The bow has ziricote veneers under clear glass in the limbs

That is pretty!  Did you purchase the veneer or cut or???

I have a major veneer dealer right here in my area but even though they have a huge stock, they don't list any zircote.  Maybe a call is in order.

I have veneer sheets as well as a few blocks to make risers.

I love the stuff!  I'm prepping another riser right now out of zircote.
