Buckeye — creamy tan with tight, swirling burl eyes from Eastern North America. One of the most visually distinctive burl figures available, with clusters of eyes that shift across the surface. The figure bookmatches dramatically across a set.
Burl is all about the figure — tight clusters of eyes, sweeping grain swirls, and natural inclusions that make every piece one of a kind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of Electric Blue Dyed Stabilized Buckeye Burl Knife Handle Block (6x2x1.375)?
These scales measure 6x2x1.375. Standard scale pairs fit the vast majority of full-tang knife blanks.
How are knife scales attached to a blade?
Drill matching pin holes through the tang and scales, apply two-part epoxy, and pin with stainless or brass rod. Clamp until fully cured (24 hours for most epoxies), then shape, sand, and finish.
What finish works best on exotic wood knife scales?
CA glue (cyanoacrylate) builds a hard, glass-smooth surface that enhances figure. Tru-Oil gives a softer, hand-rubbed result with good depth. Stabilized scales are less porous than raw wood — thinner coats work better than flooding the surface.
