There so much good work posted on here it's hard not to end up commenting. But that is rather special. Amazingly I even know what netsuke is or are I suppose. Any photos of the blade? Always did like a knife, me.stuckinthemud":3aeixvk0 said:Sheath took about 30 hours to carve. Apple finished with tinted Danish oil. Ojime bead took another few hours. The netsuke I carved a few years back, ojime and netsuke are carved from the same fallow deer antler. The glue line is a bit disappointing but something weird happened when I split the timber, like a tiny warp or twist as the tension came out of the wood? The thing would not clamp back together even though when I dry-trialled it everything look really snug, when it came out of the clamps ( 1 clamp per inch) there was still a tiny gap in places. I even took it apart, cleaned up the joint and tried again. I ended up splining it.
