Very nice.
Wish my construction jobs hadn't dried up.
That looks like the perfect wilderness knife.

Thanks. The handle is lacewood, witch is sturdy but very porous. This was the perfect material to try a Cyanocrylate finish. Around 10 coats are applied, the first few just soak in to the wood. After a good layer is built up it is sanded at 600 grit then buffed with wax. The hard part for me is keeping my dirty hands off of it.
