Thanks. I'm still trying to get the hang of handle finishing and I like to see what works for other people so I can try it myself.

your welcome, had very good luck with Tru-oil (used for gun stocks) as well , if you have a local supplier its cheap and works very well........a little more maintenance in the process but worth it........
finish with OOO steel wool between coats until you get the look you wants.....seels nice

Rob

Nicely done, Rob. Love the maple burl. Home-made micarta is still on my "bucket list".
