Laramie Knifeworks--Exotic Woods and Natural Materials

 
In this section, I provide some pictures of the exotic wood and natural materials I use for handles and bolsters. Many of these woods and natural materials have been stabilized to minimize shrinking, cracking, warping, and to provide water protection.
