Spalted Oak Knife Scales SO-521
0.375" x 1.5" x 5.3"
0.1 lbs.

This is a set of Spalted White Oak knife scales that will make a beautiful knife handle.   They are bookmatched, such that the pieces of wood are mirror images of each other.  One scale is 3/8" thick, the other is slightly thinner at about 5/16" thick.   This one has some extra character -- borer holes that go through-and-through, as well as a few checks.  If I were working with these scales, I'd match a nice dark black epoxy with this wood to fill in and highlight the character marks.

The wood has been air-dried to 10-12% moisture content.  These are not stabilized.  The wood has lost density through the spalting process but should be sufficiently strong to work without stabilizing.
