Messerist Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Here is my latest. I needed a little advice on how to finish Osage Orange. I decided to use tung oil and was assured that the neon-like glow of the wood would age to a nice amber. I forged an old file from my stash and used brass for the guard. Hope ya like it.

Ecart Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I like it! To me, the unfinished look of the blade adds a ruggedness to a knife. I like finished and refined and I like blades that are skillfully left rough. Skillfully as opposed to. . . well, some of my knives, not so skillfully left rough. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I like osage for various handle applications - it also helps to have a couple of trees on my place so I can cut a few limbs and let it season for a while before using. You do nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think the tung will work well. Nice knife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Osage is supposed to make a nice bow too. But we don't have any in this part of the country. If I get it, it'll cost an arm and a leg from a specialty woodworking store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
