    "hallowed turf" - turf from the stadium of the football team of your choice set in clear resin. Great way to fleece (I mean cater for) footy/knife fines.

    Re: Ideas for unusual scales

    Fluff from a belly button ????.....................Great material for dubbing onto a fly.

    As is all type of hair.
    ......................................the Tup's Indispensible pattern requires the hairs from a rams scrotum

    A fine pattern I'm told.......Ive never been on good enough terms with a ram to be able to create one

    A deck of playing cards might work, possibly the small decks to preserve more detail.

    New ones- recycled stacked nylon bags or pictures inside transparent resin.

    Worth doing a search on here for denim micarta. I remember a knife finished with copper and blue denim micarta that was just stunning. Limited by phone access just now.

    Possibly the one by Pieinthesky where he fitted the blue micarta into the handle? I think HTG owns that one.

    No not that one Dan, longer ago and fairly sure it was an American maker. I'll be getting out of bed and booting the lappy in a minute

    Re: Ideas for unusual scales

    Joel Bolden.................made the knife you are thinking about ?

    It is a lovely knife ............typical of the classic work this maker from the USA creates.
    Certainly one of my favourite makers.

    Hmmm, may have been one of Joels. I'll have a look for the pics over the weekend. I've been able to find them before on here. There's denim micarta and denim micarta used really well with the right materials and colours. This was the latter.
