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.

I highly recomend http://www.jantzsupply.com/ for *all* your knife making
supplies - wood and mineral scales, blades, rivets/corbys/etc. They have a
good page on knifemaking info. I've built many of their kits (folders),
and used many "bare" blades for projects. You can even call them up and
just chat about knives!
