Mosaic Pin, 2 Inch (50mm), 8mm Diameter, Brass and Copper Lion Pattern
Add a distinctive, professional finish to your handle-making projects with this lion pattern mosaic pin. The pin is constructed from carefully arranged brass and copper elements, with the surrounding space filled with black resin to create a clear and intricate design. This 8 mm diameter pin provides both a decorative accent and a functional rivet.
To install, drill an 8 mm hole through your handle scales and tang, apply epoxy, and insert the pin. Once the epoxy has cured, the pin can be sanded and polished flush with the handle material, revealing the detailed cross-section of the lion pattern.
Primarily used for securing and decorating custom knife handles, these pins are also suitable for other craft applications such as finishing walking sticks, tool handles, or creating unique jewellery pieces.
