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

Curly Birch Super Grade Handle Scales – Set of 2

Curly Birch Super Grade handle scales feature beautiful, highly figured grain with pronounced curls and natural colour variations, making them an excellent 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 three-dimensional appearance, with the natural figure becoming more pronounced when sanded and finished.

Super Grade Curly Birch is selected for its strong curl and visual character, offering more pronounced figuring than Standard Grade while maintaining the natural beauty of the timber.

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.
