    Fo sho. Thats why I'm putting wood back on it... Thought it looked good, with the junk one that was on it. Have to check google for, how to make new wood look weathered. Then a very light clean up on the blade.
    Keep that rustic look about it. [emoji57]

    Re-knotting a very nice Rubberset handle. I used a couple corrugated cardboard discs to block off the hollow handle and get the loft right. Just need to glue in the new badger knot.

    One way is using vinegar & steel wool.

    How about a Loonie TC? Fits perfect and nails the loft at 50mm. Now it's worth at least 50 cents (American) more!!

    I think im just gonna use something like Howards Feed & Wax on the Wenge, not sure how it would look with Shellac. I have CA but i'm not sure i want to go that route...yet. Anyone ever use the Blue Mahoe? I'm not sure what to finish that one with either. I'm gonna poke around online to see if i can find any answers but i figured id throw it out to you guys. Staining and finishing wood has become one of the unforeseen things i truly enjoy about this hobby.

    Steel, stones, wood and wax..
