??? Now why is it that you say that??? Seriously, I would appreciate it! Is Lignum Vitae known for cracking? Does it need to be dried or sealed in some way? This is the only knife that it was used on.

Thanks for your help,
 
Snakewood and Lignum Vitae are the worst woods for cracking I have ever used.

They are both extremely dense and heavy, and do not ever really stablilze with the surrounding atmosphere, any change is humidity results in movement, often for the worse.

If it is very old and has been in your area for a long time, you might luck out.

Keep some floor wax on it and you will reduce the possiblity of cracks immensely, but I stopped using both of these woods, sooner or later they would develop cracks!!! :o
 
Thanks!:) I will remember that. Actualy the wood had developed some small cracks which now have been filled. Perhaps the best thing to do is to rehandle that knife with some different wood.

Dr. Molenaar swears that he will never do stock removal on that large of a piece of M2 ever again!:)
