Laramie Knifeworks - 600-Year Old Oak - A Custom Hunting Kitchen Cutlery Knives Site

This is a 600-Year Old Oak handle on a Small Skinner. This piece came from a tree that is over 600 years old-- before Christopher Columbus came and found us. The tree was featured in a newspaper article in the Sacramento Bee. This tree died in a one- hundred year freak snow storm that split it in half because of all of the snow on its branches. Wood is very hard and dense-- probably not effected by stabilization. The wood is medium brown with swirls.
