Hi guys!
Need a bit of advice here..
I´m a tad lost on how to actually finish off the sheath and knife i made the other day...
Lets start with the handle...i want a waterproof and shiny look, so i´ve been thinking about using beeswax on the handle. It has already got 4 coats of danish oil and been buffed, but i can´t get that mirror finish i want, any advice?
The sheath then, the leather has been soaked, shaped and dried in the oven at 50 degrees celcius for about 1,5h, nothing else.
I´ve found something called Renaissance wax, will that work or is beeswax an alternative? won´t that deform the sheath when heated up?
