Members Rayban Posted November 19, 2008 Members Report Posted November 19, 2008 If you want to make your own, go to ebay and search "knife scales" and you can get the slabs of cocobolo you need for about $5-$6....alls you need is a belt sander and some fine sandpaper Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net

Be sure to wash up before you eat. Marlon Quote Marlon

Members Randy Cornelius Posted November 20, 2008 Members Report Posted November 20, 2008 I tried to copy a previous post about the rub sticks that my son Riley makes, not sure if the picture will come through but I will go back to the orginal post and post a reply to see if the picture comes. Here is a picture of the wooden folders or rub sticks that my son Riley makes. If interested give me a PM I think he sells them for 20-25.00. He says there is about 2-3 hours work in each one.

Members Randy Cornelius Posted November 20, 2008 Members Report Posted November 20, 2008 I will try this again, Here is a photo of the rub sticks that my son Riley makes, several of the members here have them and I will let them tell you if they are any good. I have a couple that he has made for me and they are one of my favorite tools, especially since my son made it for his dad! They are made out of Osage Orange or Hedge as some may know the tree by. He sells them for 25.00 and that includes shipping. I am not sure the attachment is working but will keep trying.
