I received a combo hatchet and knife for a Christmas present and love them both, however with would prefer a wood or antler handle for both. I also plan on copying the sheath in leather. I'm thinking Cherry wood for the handles but really have no idea about doing any of it. Any suggestions or ideas please let me know.

Thanks  
Its a nice little knife it needs a bit more of an edge put on and I think a new sheath or atleast change of button.

Hey Willrett I'm with woodsman like the knife you carry! Like the combo too but like You think learher and wood would be better.My only suggestion is get a picture in Your head and dive in! Try Your best! I bet You won't be dissappointed. C-Ya Bob

Here is the latest on this project. I will be buying Dark red and Forest Green stain as soon as I get a few extra bucks.

Looks like a great start!

Looks like you're on the right track....FYI, dont beat on anything to hard (material, not force of blow) with that hatchet...the head will break off and metal shavings fly everywhere....don't ask how i know...haha
