Howdy!

I've rehandled and handled a few knives in stag but never really got the desired look upon completion.

I know the tea-bag method , shoe polish/dye method.... what I'm not famaliar with is the burning method.

I'm looking for that old school look on stag , where the deep parts are very dark and the upper parts are the natural light brown /tan/off white color, as seen on older American and European folders.

Ideas and suggestions welcome !!

:)

Burning stag will not give the results you desire. Burned stag is obvious, and burning destroys the surface.
Culpepper (Mother of Pearl co.) can dye stag like you want.
