hello ,

I present to you a job, i'd made 2 months ago ! It is a oosik (Walruse penile bone ) knife handle , with a celtic interlacing carving .

It is a material that I had never used: .....not easy!!!!!

 

 

 

 

have you ever used this material ,?

Hi Laurent, nice work, i like celtic art. Is oosik easy to carve ?

[Sam Smith]

Awesome knotwork, animal knotwork (has a name, just can't remember) is hard to get right.

Heh seems like some people will carve anything

Laurent,

Oosik is hard and has a grain to it, but it has a lovely apperance and takes stain well. What is the stone you have set inthe handle?

The knife seems to be a scandanavian design

Your work is very nice.

Debbie

Very Nice. I'm partial to knives. LMAO. Anything sharp and shiney.

thank you to all,

 

Hi sergio , as Debbie said :oosik is effectively hard as bone, but much less homogeneous, but it takes a beautiful polish And have a nice " vintage " aspect!

 

 

Sam, it is true that knotwork is a good patience school, I like to do it , but I usually made it on the boxwood.like this one :

 

 

 

 

Dessine , it's true that it look like scandanavian knife , the blade is to Éric PLAZEN a french bladesmith . The insert, is not a stone but a rivert which sets the blade

 

Thank you don , most of my carve are on knife handle but i don't forge !
