Sweet looking thing, I envy your talent and skills. Seems a shame to go digging in the horse poop with it.

Nice, is the wood treated with anything?

The blade is a new design for me with a hollow running it's length on the inside. This concept is to ease sharpening. After 20 sharpenings I think I'll be back into the hollow.. that's when the real test of design will come in. If too thin I don't think it will stay sharp very long. It's 61Hrc

The handle is finished to about 10% of is finished size then coated with the super glue. Then reduced in size and coated again. Each reduction and any material removed gets coated. Because of the grain this crotch wood doesn't dry well without voids and cracking. The thin super glue penetrates the wood reinforcing and binding any voids. I should have whittled down the wood from both sides and sent it for stabilisation. But I am figuring out the process so split each knot section so they are 1 sided vs 2. So yes. Coated and buffed. The dark section is epoxy I used to fill a void. Where the wood cracked out during the split. 5min epoxy always takes 2days to setup. I left the handle oversized as this will be my test before going further. Thinking I might make some to sell.
