Damascus steel Triton

[rich gubbin]

Hi all,
Heres one i made earlier today, been looking forward to the blanks arriving from Timberbits for 2 weeks to make this. Well they finally arrived yesterday and here,s the finished result. Cant wait to see the reaction and feedback i get at the craft shows I attend, hopefully it wont be sitting on my stall long. Drilling it was a powdery affair and it was relatively quick to turn and finish, much easier than Tru-stone. Nerve wracking to assemble as i have had a tru-stone crack in the past, but that was on a Vail. The Triton is a much better fit. C&C welcome.

So this is that fake damascus resin stuff?

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Yep! but sounds a bunch better to say faux Damascus:biggrin: Ed I've made a few out of the real stuff and these M3's are a way for some to get a similar look at a price they can afford. Are they a replacement for the real stuff, no but they have their place just as Alternative Ivory , tru-stone and other faux materials have. :wink: Rich nice job.
