HI , I've just cut some handles for a knife, but now I need to
'finish' the wood. I'm a real newbie to woodworking. Can anyone tell
me the best way to finish the wood?
cheers

What I am curious about is: what do you use to rivet the shells onto the
knife
tang? Or do you use screws? I've tried to get stock for riveting some
knife
handles once, and drew a total blank.

The wood I use is: Tiger maple, Bird eyes maple. As for the finish I only
use pure Tung oil on maple or bee wax finish.
Hope this help
