Title: Curly Hickory Skinner
Post by: Lewis Brookshire III on April 05, 2008, 11:16:00 AM

I just made this one up. Its a skinner, the handle is some Curly Hickory I got from KennyM (Thanks Kenny!) with a light stain. Has file work along the entire spine.

nice job looks great. How do you keep epoxy out of the file work between the scales? Thanks in advance. Skippy

Skippy I have always had that same problem, I tend to put ALOT of epoxy on and pin them. Well this time I put the epoxy on thinner and it didnt goop out into the file work. I figure since I pin them also I didnt need all of that epoxy.
