"Grianspota" - 230mm candy store custom
My first 'candy store custom' offering! For immediate design and making in January 2025.
Please checkout the videos to get a better sense of the finish on this blade, it's quite something in the light!
I thought it would be fun to throw a unique blade and process at you to keep things fresh. You will have access to my entire 200+ wood block collection to build a story and handle around this blade. We will hop on a meeting call, and share inspirations to customize handle shapes, size, facets, bolsters, and heirloom fittings. The price includes any blank I currently have, and a complex handle build (within reason) and the realm of other similar in my portfolio. You can see a selection of premium offerings in the pics including - highly figured koa, curly mango, figured rosewood, turkish walnut burl, redwood lace burl, live-edge two-tone amboyna, crosscut munn ebony, etc etc - I'm sure you and I are both reasonable folk, we will work out the best way forward and adjust pricing only if necessary. Really looking forward to this one.
