Curly Hickory Skinner
« 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.

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.
