New pick, Micarta handles

Finished up this pick today, for now at least. Probably going to spend a bit more time polishing before I'm happy with it. Pick is made from a hacksaw blade and the handles are black paper micarta that I made, with a brass pin and epoxy holding the scales.

Re: New pick, Micarta handles
Thanks guys, and you should try paper, canvas gives better grip but paper polishes much cleaner.

Have you layered with different colors it looks great when cut and sanded
Re: New pick, Micarta handles
I like the handle, looks solid and has a nice and original shape. Dunno if the black background is a good choice to show a black pick, you may try a different one and show us another picture

Makes sense, this is the other side. The first picture is the side I did with a small dremel bit, this side was done with a round file. Love me that anso pattern.
I've got a few more homemade pics, a few with wood and the rest are electro-etched.

Thanks for the new picture. Now that I've seen it better, I like the handle even more.
