Great info Lin! Thanks for sharing

[Thadbow]

Thank you for the explanation Lin,  what a great way to narrow it down!
I can't wait to see this one all finished up with that stacked handle!

I been checking this everyday, the anticipation is hard on me!

[Lin Rhea]

Thanks guys.

Cliff, I had to work on some other projects and set it down for a bit. I'll get back on it soon.

[Lin Rhea]

OK, I'm getting back on it. The blade is sanded to 220 but not quite finished yet.

Ok im better Thanks Lin!

[Lin Rhea]

Well, I got this one finished about 4:30 this morning. Woke up early and finished it off,then I went back to sleep.

I lost this blade for about a week. Found it behind the seat of my truck.

 

 

 

I finished this one out to suit me. I even scratched "Lin" in the blade.

I've been watching for this one.  I showed my wife the blade when you first posted about this knife.We both think it is beautiful, as is everything you turn out.

Thank you sir. I'm sorry it took me so long. I've been pretty busy working on other stuff.

It is wrong to be envious, so I'm wrong. OUTSTANDING!

That's beautiful, Lin. If I'm guessing right, is the handle material slices of wood, each piece turned to expose different grain? What wood is it? And one other dumb question...how did you keep it all together and get that angled finish on the butt end to accommodate the change of angle for the butt cap? I realized since I've never used a butt cap, I don't think I've ever mentally "trouble shot" that process.

Thanks for sharing these projects with us.

Okay I can turn my computer off, Been waiting to see this one for a month or two. I knew it was worth it. Thanks for posting Mr.Lin!  

[Lin Rhea]

Thanks Cliff! Sorry it took so long.    

Jeremy, I inserted a few wedge shaped pieces to curve it. It's tricky keeping it all in place during the glue up.

It's Cherry wood. I think it'll darken over time.

Thanks
