Happy Thanksgiving all! I and a few of the makers from the Makers Mob made handles for the Jimmy Diresta knife. I made my handle out of Rosewood White Oak and West System epoxy. I don’t use epoxy too often, but this small project should be fine. I start by shaping my handle with several cuts on the table saw and removing the epoxy vessel with a router. Once the epoxy is cured, I finish the handle with some sanding and a coat of spray sealer.
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching.
