I finished these two little knives up. I wish the sun was out so you could see the maple glow.

Thanks, Kevin. I like it simple.

Rob, I didn't have any Aqua Fortis so I dipped the handle in crushed walnut shell stain and then soaked it with Gun Blueing solution. Then I heated it with my heat gun and sprayed with lacquer.

Very nice.  In my mind I can easily picture the glow that maple produces in sunlight.

Nice work, Eddie!  Next post will be from the new forge?  Enjoy the retirement, and remember the best reply when somebody tries to recruit you to do more is "What?" (lol) (lol)
