My Buck 124 re-handle project

[Rappy]

Update #6

Further shaped the handle with a Mora, sanded from 60-400 grit.
ready for the watco danish oil I bought.

The curly maple scales were too short, needed a spacer to lift it up.
level it with the pommel

Makes sense, but I've got to ask, why not add a blue spacer to the other side?

I was lazy, and it would need more sanding on the other side.
a lot of extra elbow grease since I have no power tools.

Roger that. Wood scales are looking good. Looking forward to the finished project.

 

[Rappy]

I coated the scales multiple times over the course of the day.
tomorrow I will sand it, and apply another coat.

Will post pics then.
really beautiful results so far.

Thank you very much, such kind words for hard work!

Sorry for the delay

Here is the last update until Sunday picture day.

I sanded it with 400 grit, and put 2nd coat of danish oil.
Very very stoked about the results!

This is with the oil still wet, before I would wipe it off.

Do you have a rap that goes along with that 124?
