Skill is not born into anyone.  It is earned thru hard work and perseverance.

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.

Thanks again, I've changed my handles some, to the coke bottle sides. Do you think they look better?
