I sent the wood to be stabilised by WSSI in the US, but due to it being coniferous there were some areas where the acrylic resin did not penetrate as fully as I might have hoped. Therefore, in addition to the acrylic stabilising, the finished handle has been given a hand rubbed oil finish. This has not only brought out the colour very nicely, but given it a feel much more like natural wood than is usual with stabilised timber.

Thanks for looking.

fantastic knife chris! i don't suppose you're after any trades?

 

[C_Claycomb]

Sorry Nat, not really looking for any trades. I know it sounds ludicrous, but I have more knives that I can use and am not looking for any more In fact, I am hoping to sell this in order to help fund an upcoming trip.

All the best
