Really nice knife-great job. I've worked a little with Wenge-how did you finish it? The stuff I have is a bit porous-were you able to get a nice smooth finish to it?

Thanks guys,
Jeremy I really don't like wenge for handles for the same reason, but that's what the customer wanted. I took this to 1200 grit to get the finest finsh I could, it still has some Porous spots in it. Im thinking about doing a CA finsh to fill them in and then sand it off the top and buff.
