    Default Wostenholm 9/16, Bloodwood

    This is the second one off the bench this weekend. It's also mine; a Wostie 9/16. I buffed it as best I could. The blade was extremely thin to begin with so I had to be careful.....nearly flubbed it too! The scales are bloodwood with 6 coats of Tung Oil hand rubbed and buffed. The wedge is black horn, and the hardware is brass.

    This wood was cool to work with. It's got a wonderful iridescence about it.
