The only use of coral I have seen is as scales and spacers. Can be really a beautiful piece or accent. _________________________ David Loomis RKS# 724 RKCC# CM-061 Molon Labe

RUTROW Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/20/20 Posts: 264 Loc: TX	I wondered if it would work on a big piece like on a Randall handle or only on a smaller flat piece like folder scales Attachments ------ _________________________ KELLY

Dirty_Water Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 2346 Loc: central fl.	RMK did a Red Coral handle for Tom Clinton few years back...it cracked terribly during construction...Tom asked that if possible to finish it anyways as it was a special gift for his sick wife and we did...crack is very noticeable. So we decided the material was too volatile and discontinued trying any further with this handle material... _________________________ ---DW--- Scott RKS #014 HE IS RISEN!, HE IS RISEN INDEED!
