Default Started a project on the knife

I bought this knife (among others) with a project in mind. I was a little disappointed because I thought it was woven on the handle, not this:



Anyway I went ahead with the project and see what I can get out of it. I found a site that had sets of wood for knife handles and I got a 3 pair set (Hard Maple-Walnut-African Mahogany). Then I went to Harbor Freight to get some tools and glue.



Now I have one handle in place and being cured for 24 hours:



I do one side at a time because that way I can use my dremel to cut along the metal riding the smooth part of the bit on the metal while the flutes cut the wood.

I'll post more as it progresses.
