    Beavercraft is really a great company. Had contact with them and they have a great customer service. Additionally they are not a Chinese company exploiting their workers, but a European company in a region with a lot of history in knife making.

    I have several Beaver Craft knives and gouges, I like them a lot. I know they're not the best but I've done stuff with them that I like and people want to buy. If they work for you, that's all that matters.

    Yes, Please! Live oak is a beautiful wood when paired with BLO and Paste Wax!

  • @benlikebike
    @benlikebike 2 года назад +1

    I like your approach, any wood, any tool.
    Its the most realistic approach, and when on a budget the only one.
    Of course as we learn that changes, and to each his entire. But that should be the start for anyone really.

    I like the octagonal design. I think it gives the best control. The live oak is beautiful.

    I love watching your videos! Most of the time when I need guidance on a wood project I come here and search for a similar video. Sometimes the tips I'm looking for a project come after my interest has past but I still watch the video and when I need it I go over the parts where I thought was useful.

    Nice handle. My grandson made a few handles for my rasp and file set. He would love that handle.

  • @bpower6362

    Great little project. Love that live oak. Now you need to make a wooden cover for the blade. :)

    It's alive!!! At least now if you make a mistake when carving you can blame the knife.

  • @FixItBuildItGrowIt

    Well done on the handle. What a great transformation undertaken by the live oak once the BLO was applied!

  • @daraven4714
    @daraven4714 2 года назад +1

    Little tip that I use making handles,
    I use playdough and grip it everyway I would use the knife to make a mock up/template to transfer to the wood, it gives a personalized ergonomic handle

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo
      @WoodByWrightHowTo  2 года назад

      I like doing that for handles that I always grip in the same direction. There was a carving knife you're always switching the grip from a pencil hold to handle grip to a close slide to a finger press and a lot of others.

    @bbrachman 2 года назад +1

    You need to make a wood 'cap' for the knife that matches the handle. Just for shop safety. Or, a leather one.

    It's so satisfying seeing a finish project come together, and it's even more satisfying when you use a tool that you made yourself, even you just made the handle. That little personal touch makes all the difference in the world.

  • @opabutterscotch5902

    I enjoy the small projects you do, Keep up the great work James.
    As time is scarce it is great to be able to get into the shop and knock out a small project every now and then!
    Should have used the red gum. That would be my choice here is Australia!

    The handle turned out really nice. The live oak grain is fantastic. I think I’d probably like the octagonal handle more than the standard round one on my Mora carving knife.

      It is surprisingly comfortable. And it makes it very easy for your hand to know which direction the blade is going.
