Well, summer's been a busy season - too much fun stuff to do outside before it gets cold this winter! But I finally got finished up with the Woodcraft Mule I've been tinkering with for a few months. I used a a really nice set of black-and-white ebony slabs. My wife says the coloring (gold, black, red) reminds her of a calico cat.

In any event - it did my usual treatment of bolting the scales with no adhesive (using 3/16" pivot bolts), giving me the option of replacing them at some point. Because ebony is so porous, I finished these scales with TruOil. I ran into a little bit of trouble with dust settling on the scales during the finishing - summer is a bear for flying dust and other contaminants. I ended up polishing the scales with steel wool and adding more top coats. All-in-all, I added about 10 coats of TruOil to these scales and it sealed up the grain very nicely.

Now, off to my next adventure - making a Native V into an Orange G10 monster!

Homebrew stonewash on my sage 2. I think it turned out pretty decent.

Nice, did you do that with a pop bottle and driveway stones? I am curious, I have heard of others doing it that way with nice results. :thumbup:

Bottle from wal-mart. Cost like 4 dollars. The bag of stones were from home depot for 5 I think. Then I put wd40 in it and wrapped it in towels and put it in the dryer.

South Fork with a little bicycle inner tube added for a bit of grip.

An original dragonfly. Had this for about 12 years. Stabbed an apple this morning in my orchard and snapped this:

Have been trying to make a decision on this one for the longest time. Finally decided ..... and a good decision it was!
