    Default Crashete

    Finished this up today. Made from a rusty sawmill blade, bamboo scales and bamboo pins.

    that's nice, I bet it has some good heft being made from a sawmill blade, 3/32" thick?
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Looks like a serious chopper!

    not speaking for Crash but I wonder if bamboo kabob skewers from the grocery would work for pins or the bamboo pins used in flat belt splicing?

    I believe it is 1/8". The whole thing weighs in at 1 lb 2.45 oz.

    As Randy stated, the pins are bamboo skewers that were purchased at the local grocery store. The bamboo scales are solid, stranded, bamboo flooring. Here are a few pics.

    Skewers! And all this time I've been splitting, whittling and sanding down pins from bamboo slats. If there's a hard way to do something, I supposed I'm bound to find it.
