Fancy Pick & Whisk Set

[davec2]

Just made these...ebony handles, brass parts (including scabbard for pick), tempered steel pick (doubles as a small awl), and hog bristle whisk......

Great things........ and that is inadequate to express how nice the design and execution is.

The handles look like like the were cut to shape on a lathe. But what tool was used to create the length wise grooves?

 

[LongrifleDoc]

Outstanding!

You are a master craftsman,Nice job. :hatsoff:

 

[davec2]

Thank you all for the kind words about these.

Greenjoytj,

Yes, I turned the handles on a lathe and slotted them with a mill. I don't have pictures of doing the pick & whisk, but here is a series of pictures of a knife I made with a hippo ivory grip. The grip was slotted the same way...turned on a lather and then slotted on the mill.
