Many thanks, Thomas, I didn't realize resin was such a pivotal part of a burned in tang, makes sense why traditional Japanese sword handles had a hardwood laminated softwood core.

Hey ive been wanting to learn how to do this type of handle that I really only see on old items and I've recently been asked to make an herb chopper like this
I can't tell how it would be affixed (especially without modern adhesives) in such a way that it can take stress in any direction without wiggling or coming loose. Anyone who has information regarding this style of attaching a Tang like this perpendicular to the grain would be greatly appreciated and another good skill to learn.

I just bought my first vise not too long ago, it was missing the entire screw and box and replaced with what looked like a wood vise screw and nut. Problem is, the nut shattered and now I need to get it working again, preferably as cheap as possible. Scince I could buy a house Jack for less than $35 I found this post very interesting, but I don't quite understand how attaching the house Jack to the vise would work exactly. This is why I'd like to see the pictures from the original post. Please and thank you.

Well I finished the herb chopper for my grandfather. The handle is pine with oak on the sides, I also added additional pitch prior to final burning on and wiped the excess. Feels sturdy enough for the kitchen to me. Usually when i hear someone talking about pitch as an adhesive its in a dismissive tone or "you could do that but i'll stick with 5 min epoxy", anyway thanks for the learning experience!
