Figured y'all might want a peek at the mock up of the Waterville.
Hand rubbed with low gloss tounge oil, and bee's wax n orange oil.
And lead wedge.

Did you blue and bleach the blade? It fits together quite nicely. It looks like you did not raise the grain at all. I don't think it gets much better.

I'm with rez dog on that one, the colors all "Work" perfectly together. Pin it and be done.

Nope...that's the original patina, that only time can create. [emoji6]

Looks spot on Mike. Great blend with the aging..
Well done hombre..

Was hoping to work a bit on the lathe this weekend but the knuckles won't let that happen. The wounds are right where I guide my tools against the rest so decided to clean up the R and J Slack with sanding tools as the tumbler did nice polishing but was not any good on some of the pitting up at the spine.

Really, think I'm about done on the blade work. Small dimple or two up way far from the edge so will maybe turn to scale designs in black horn.
Cheers gents.enjoy your weekend..

The before and early tumbling results are in the butchered blade thread I believe.
