Hey folks, just wondering about two things: I recently re-handled my CS Vietnam Tomahawk w/ a mahogany bed slat cut to about 20". It came out great, and now I am wondering about what kind of oil I should use to finish the wood in. A while back, I remember reading a thread where someone used vegetable oil to finish their wooden handle (slabs?). Is this alright to use? Also, I stripped the paint off of the tom's head. I would like to mirror polish it, so how do I go about doing that? I do have a Dremel tool, if that'll help in getting the job done. And finally, how would I got about making a bandolier to hold this thing (the stock sheath on goes on the left--I'm right handed, though) so it hand off of my right hip? Should I use cordura, or go w/ the woven, earthy look, which would compliment the tom's current appearance. You guys might grimace, but I do intend to use this thing. Thanks in advance.

You might get a better response in the Shop Talk forum rather than the Custom Knives Forum. So I'll move it over there.
