That thing is huge, it looks like it has quite bit of splitting in it also. Do you hand rub them with Tung oil when they're finished?

There was no splitting in it Scott. I actually cut the ends off where it cracked and turned it wet, now it has to dry. I use a walnut oil for the finish.

It's amazing that this came from the same tree as the one above. This was the partially rotted section of the tree, beautiful spalting.

Thanks John, caught it at the right time before it rotted.

Thanks Scott, I have another one cooking that should be just as nice.

Here's the Bowie after a few steps forward and back.
I ended up too dark with the etch and sanded it back and did a bunch of short etching cycles.
I'm putting it aside for now to work on the handle.

I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
