I hung it today. Its not perfect but it should work just fine.
Purple heart maple was used as the wedge.
It feels good, even choked up.
Some swell shots.
I think its looking good.
And into the BLO bath it goes. 2 parts thinner to 1 part BLO for a couple days.
The haft will get another sanding with 120 grit and coat tomorrow. Then finer grits and more concentrated BLO for the following days.

It's finally all oiled up and done. I really like the 3D ring at the bend in the grip.
It finally went back home and my sister assures me it will no longer live outside.
All in all I am happy with how my second ever haft turned out. Now I need a new project.
