John, question for you is the antler glued, and or is the handle completely assembled? Or, do you finish it like this then disassemble dye and reassemble? Hope that wasnt too confusing?
Not assembled yet Scott, just making sure all the pieces are flush. Will probably epoxy everything together at once, except the end cap, I'll epoxy that and do the peeing before it cures. Every so often tap the cap with a piece of PVC pipe as I peen the tang, if that makes sense.
Yep makes perfect sense, if Maynard gets too depressed because of the endangered Micarta I'll take it.
Ha, I had to edit that last post, I left out the "n" in "peening". I was peeing before the epoxy cured.

The Potassium Permanganate should be here tomorrow, thanks Scott, I wasn't sure whether or not to soak it, or apply it on the surface. I'm gonna experiment with some pieces from the same antler.
I'd like to leave the antler as it is, but it's slightly thicker towards the front so I may have to thin a little bit. I wanted to cut closer to the crown, it had great figure, but there was some mice chewmarks that forced me to cut further up.. When I get the spacers shaped down we'll see what happens.
^^^. What Scooter said! :thumbup:
Scott H, love that stag on that one as well!
I'd be lying if I said I knew what the hell I was doing,
Maynard must not be as bad as you let on. Being a lefty means he's probably a great guy.
I'm thinking/betting that all of your left handed fans are going to be wanting one of these.
