Jayaruh #453

Just finished JR#453. It is made with African Olivewood and topped off with a Whipped Dog Silvertip Badger Knot.

  

Jayaruh #453 and 454

Olivewood blank arrives

Getting the initial shape

 

Haven't decided which will be 453 and 454 yet.

I am pleased with the amazing grain of  this Olivewood. Next step will be to separate the handles and make the holes.

  

Here they are separated and with holes ready for knots. The knots are on order, so next I will be finishing the handles while I wait on the knots to arrive.
