I always sand in the direction of the grain, so going across the grain is not a technique I have seen before. Beech is a suitable wood, but rather plain. I have, however, epoxied replacement scales onto pocket knives. I think I might have taken a piece of the bench instead of drilling into it. You can often salvage nice bits of wood off yard sales’ stripping or carving knives, eg cocobolo, ebony, rosewood,etc.
Thank you very much for your comment, i'm just a beginner so i did my best
