Saw a blog entry recently about making squares out of shop scraps and decided to give it a shot. The photos show the result. The grip is mahogany and the blade is beech--both quartersawn. The pins are walnut dowels. It has a couple of coats of shellac sealer then steel wool before finishing wax.
The blade is just over 1/8 in thick and the grip is a bit under 1/2--hey they were scraps after all.
