Love the grain on those scales. What do you use for finish?

Very nice, solid knife Mr. Watson! The burl is beautifully finished.

The more knives you make, the more I love your work. Just out of curiosity, did you buff that handle?

thank you fellaas , appreciate your replies once again........
this was a fine piece of stabilized Mallee burl,wish I had more !! I could have easily left it at a 600 grit with a wipe clean and been happy but I went up to 800 and gave it a wipe with tru-oil , let dry for 30 seconds to a minute and wipe dry , repeat a couple more times......I've found the key to tru-oil is not lettting it sit to long and gum up, apply with clean fingers, let it soak for a very short time and wipe clean, almost like your wiping it all off....repeat to desired look , it will fill slight voids and add a nice durable coat...... have an awesome weekend Rob __________________ R.Watson B.C.
