Well, since I got some interest and questions, hey, all ya hadda do was
ask.
First thing, I hope you noticed the 'scutchen was on the -wrong-side. Yup, had to put it over there because Atkins put the etching on the wrong side too. At least to a southpaw's view of the world. I got the hadle pattern from saving ebay saw handle pics and just averaging the patterns into something I thought I might like. Bit from this one and a bit from that. Plus some extra beef in the grip. It was almost 5/4 stock to start with. After sawing, sharp rasps and files mostly did the shaping (bless you Cheryl Boggs). The cut was started with a dovetail saw and then finished with a piece of bandsaw blade I mounted in an old butcher's saw frame. Scrapers and sandpaper for the finish. |
