spsurfer 891 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 @Socks, planning on some holydays in Spain? @Katchum, I made a few months ago a handle from another boring wood... the oil helps to underline the grain, but can't convert a boring wood into exibition grade. This walnut burl ist STUNNING, from a guy from turkey who normally sells gunstock to the big names (Purdey, Longthorne, ..). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spsurfer 891 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just living in Spain a tiny workshop of my father in law (very tiny, dirty, but at least a place where I don't have to care to produce more dirt ;)) The fine tuning, handle polishing etc. I do at home. I don't even have a belt grinder, from time to time, I visit a fellow knifemaker to make my blades on his grinder, he also does the heat treatment of my blades. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
