Has anyone here used hardwood flooring pieces or bamboo flooring pieces as knife scales?
I was looking at the bamboo tiles and I cut one up to see if they delaminate and even soaked one in water after cutting and there was ZERO delamination.
I am going to try and make a perfect for ME knife, just to see if I can. Before I try making Crashcarta per his video in (Olive, Black, Tan), I wanted to try a durable material that is pre-made. I did not want to use antler or bone as when I have worked with it before on other projects, it seemd to not be at all forgiving to a novice.
So, I went to Home Depot and asked for a few samples of tiles as we are going to lay down a hardwood tile floor in the rec room. They did not want the samples back, so I went about what I could use them for. As firewood, they blow, too much glue and stuff in them. They would not work as a bow drill base as when they smolder, they will emit toxic chems, might work as the handhold, not sure on this yet.
They just seem perfect for knife and tool handle scales.... ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS ??
