Ryan they came shaped and all I had to do was knock off some of the wood with a hand plane and then sand to fit then stain. Then top finish of your choice
i used 3coats of dark walnut and a waxed and hand rubbed finish

Outstanding grain in them.

It is soooo great and I'm quite a relieved to know you are good at something. Those look great and that's my favorite Bagwell too.

That Curly Maple is very sweet - I am looking for some of Barr's damascus - do you do the actual haft work for other BF members, or were these personal works...???

Thanks!

Joe, I can tell the hawk bug has bitten you. Glad to see you doing some work on them and enjoying it! I can see you making one from scratch in not not to distant future. I can put my crystal ball away now........
