Good job, I always keep some black palm. It sells knives. Let me share this with you, next time you work some black palm brush on some min wax wood hardener let it dry and buff it... I came across it by mistake a few years ago when I had one that was losing some of the grain. Works like a champ. I made and sold this one last week. It's in Ohio today. grin

The problem I see with the minwax is that it will blush out to a smoky white after it gets wet. I have some in the shop and have tested it against water contact and it blushed every time.

I've made a lot of kitchen knives from it, I just brush it on and even before it dries, I buff it, so far I've never had an issue. You just weren't holding your tongue right. clap roflmao

That was a typo on my part. hammer Overall is 7.5" so the handle is 3.5". It feels good in the hand and you don't need an axe handle to take a bird or fish apart with a sharp blade.

I've got one in a similar profile with a 154CM stainless blade and Green Canvas Micarta scales but I haven't decided if I want to sell it or just keep it and use it confused2
