I am making a handle for a knife kit that was given to me. I am making
the handle out of ebony and birdseye maple. I really don't want to use
rivets. Will epoxy make a good metal to wood bond? Any other non rivet
suggestions?

I'll second that and add that you may want to wipe down the ebony with
acetone prior to applying the epoxy and you should make certain that
you have coated well with epoxy all the mating surfaces.



Thanks guys i will have to order some online (woodcraft has it I see)
I don't know who locally will carry that.


Quite often, Ace Hardware...
