NICE job! It does look like a bit of Danish oil or something along those lines would really enhance the beauty of that burl?

Hi sitflyer -

That is one of the most beautiful 112's I have ever seen! Thanks for the pictures and congrats!

I would love to see a wip on your techniques for working on these old bucks - not that I would ever be able to do this, it would just be interesting.

best regards -

Those are fantastic! Too bad Buck can't offer wood like that.

Very nice.
I bought a 110/ the other day that's kinda beat up and I'm about to send a bunch of wood off to get stabilized and will be doing the same to it. I havn't searched yet, assuming your 112 had the pivot pin as the 110 does did you do anything other than just grind it down a little or most of the way?

I left one head on it and cut it just longer than the width of the liners...peend it down and sanded the heads flush.
