My Blue Spruce Butt Chisel gloat has finally landed :)

[Lord Nibbo]

After waiting since early October when I first emailed Dave Jeske I've finally got them to play with. Dave Jeske has certainly come up with something special and well worth the wait.

So as yet unused and needing their first honing here they are

What wood did you say those handles were again Sir?

It is astounding!

Am I seeing right or are those socket shaped ferrules or real sockets with a step.....I take it the latter?

Gorgeous...simply gorgeous!

These are by fare the most beautiful butt chisels, I've seen! I like dark woods with silver coloured metal.

Cheers Pedder

Beautiful 8) love the cocobolo handles, are they resin impregnated?

 

[paulm]

Cheers, Paul

 

[Lord Nibbo]

Beautiful 8) love the cocobolo handles, are they resin impregnated?

To quote the letter from Dave Jeske, The cocobolo handles are finished with just a polish and a final coating of carnauba wax. If they were made from curly maple they would have had a few coats of oil/varnish before the wax.

 

[Mattty]

They are lovely.
The timber looks stunning. It looks like an excellent attention to detail with the grain of the handles all running paralell with the blade edge.

May i cheekily ask how much?

 

[diarmaid]

Lovely looking!...almost too nice to use!

 

[Blister]

They are to nice to use 8)

 

[Waka]

I'm not jealous, really not jealous

What can I say LN, they are beautiful, if they handle like all the other BS tools then they'll be a delight to use.

 

[Max Power]

You really should have bought a full size set LN and I would have worn them down to size for you :wink:
