Thank you for the explanation Lin,  what a great way to narrow it down!
I can't wait to see this one all finished up with that stacked handle!

OK, I'm getting back on it. The blade is sanded to 220 but not quite finished yet.

Well, I got this one finished about 4:30 this morning. Woke up early and finished it off,then I went back to sleep.

I lost this blade for about a week. Found it behind the seat of my truck.

   

   

   

I finished this one out to suit me. I even scratched "Lin" in the blade.

I've been watching for this one.  I showed my wife the blade when you first posted about this knife.We both think it is beautiful, as is everything you turn out.

That's beautiful, Lin. If I'm guessing right, is the handle material slices of wood, each piece turned to expose different grain? What wood is it? And one other dumb question...how did you keep it all together and get that angled finish on the butt end to accommodate the change of angle for the butt cap? I realized since I've never used a butt cap, I don't think I've ever mentally "trouble shot" that process.

Thanks for sharing these projects with us.

Thanks Cliff! Sorry it took so long.   :)  

Jeremy, I inserted a few wedge shaped pieces to curve it. It's tricky keeping it all in place during the glue up.

It's Cherry wood. I think it'll darken over time.

Thanks
