Handle Finishing Sticky

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I added a page for handle finishing in the "All the Good Information" sticky. If you have a favorite thread or tutorial, send me an email, PM, or post the link here. I'll add them.

Mr. Greenberg had an excellent thread on wood types for knife handles, including tips on appropriate finishes and the difficulty level of the wood. He no longer keeps the thread up to date, but has an up to date version on his website. If linking his website is acceptable, please consider including it. http://greenbergwoods.com/wood-information-and-identification/

I can also expand that if you want, add info on wax finishing and what woods darken a lot with oil.
