A customer who has supported my work since 2012 wanted a special set of handles for one of his favorite German blades.
We created a design that echoed the maker’s mark of Herder- the key and spade. We created some sketches together until we found a design that was fitting.
To make this special, we decided to craft the inlays out of gold.
The piece was completed using our house blend of wood finishing oils.
This piece took a long time to create, and I’m very grateful for his support and patience. This is among my favorite projects.
