Curly Birch Standard Grade Handle Scales – Set of 2 – 120 x 40 x 8mm

Curly Birch Standard Grade Handle Scales – Set of 2

Curly Birch Standard Grade handle scales feature a natural pale cream colour with subtle curls and grain variations, making them an affordable choice for custom knife handles.

Curly Birch is a pale hardwood traditionally used in Scandinavian knife making. Its distinctive twisted and rippled grain creates an attractive appearance, with the natural figure becoming more pronounced when sanded and finished.

Standard Grade Curly Birch has lighter figuring than Super or Extreme Grade, with predominantly pale timber and occasional darker grain patterns or natural inclusions. This makes it an excellent choice for knife makers who prefer a more understated appearance.

The wood can be cut, drilled, shaped and sanded using standard knife-making tools. Applying a suitable oil or protective finish enhances the grain and brings out the natural contrast.
