Very nice job, sharp. The finish is super glossy, what did you use?

Scott, I'm also curious about the finish you applied to the grip, as well as any polishing process you used.

Appreciate the comments. I didnt do anything special for the finish. 5 coats of natural Danish Oil applied lengthwise de nibbed between coat with maroon pad. You dont get a buildup with the danish oil as its very thin hence the 5 coats. I ran out of Tru oil so used it instead.

Absolutely stunning! And wow, do I ever need a new source for birch bark! How thick are those rings?

Scott Nice job! I was wondering about the corien. I have a bunch of it and have made grips out of it I never used
It always seemed too be too heavy but looks great! Do you find the grip is too heavy?
