I have seen this carbon core before but I can’t remember where hmm lol.

Been a busy couple of days!

What about the core and cross plies? I make sure to slice those from the same lumber too if I’m making a matching set. But yeah I think mine last time I did it were super close like .2g apart but never say never! I don’t think I’ve seen any of your blades do you post them on here? If you do tag...

Those are all good examples. I’m working with a guy right now who likes anatomic grips but hasn’t found one that fits his bigger hands. I can make my anatomic whatever size the customer wants. Balance, weight, speed, head shape/web size, handle length, the angle of the ledge on your grip and...

Some more than others but yeah it is. The Peruvian walnut board I got cost a little over $60 and I’ll probably get 12 cores out of it so that one not as much with a $5 dollar core. But then I got a bunch of spruce from tearing apart a piano so that was free. I gotta pay for veneers but those...

In the garage, finished my first Peruvian black walnut core blade. I was looking through my BBC blades and every time I find myself holding the peruvian black walnut blade that he made. Kinda cool to finally make one of my own. I figured if there’s any other fans of Charlie’s work out there you...

It’s dyed red koto. And the white wood in the other blade is dyed sycamore. I just got a new order of veneers in if you can’t tell haha

I’m surprised I thought for sure you did. Really no need since you have good sources that make whatever thicknesses you want, I could never find a place except for years ago I ordered some paulownia.

You guys talking about places that actually make the cores and send several sheets of wood? Or like lumber yards to go buy a big stick and make your own?

Couple more hardbats. These are with a bigger headshape and slightly heavier. Customer is looking for a hock clone so I’m meeting up with the local Hock specialist and hardbat enthusiast to see just how close it is. This is a 9-10-9, invented by blademaker Charlie BBC. This iconic blade was...

Dipping my toes in the hardbat world. I thought this one would be easy because I thought it was just a premade plywood people were using to make these but after looking at the one I was told to clone the plies were all the same thickness and I couldn’t find a plywood with equal plies 3/16...
