Loneforge Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice looking piece. Did you split that handle then re-glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Covington Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 i did.. i wanted to try using a plunge router to cut out the space for the tang instead of burning in the tang. It was more for the learning experience than anything else. I ended up with one side a little thicker than other in the end which i didnt like but again it was a learning experience from start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
