Tigerwood — bold dark stripes on a golden-red background with a natural lustre that doesn't need much finishing. Dense enough to skip stabilization and holds up well under use. The stripe pattern is unmistakable and reads well at distance.
Sized to fit most full-tang knife blanks — glue, pin, and shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of Stabilized Tigerwood Handle Material (5x1.5x0.25)?
These scales measure 5x1.5x0.25. 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.
