Branding of #148-50

Today, I did a light sanding, opened the holes a bit to fit the knot, numbered the handles, and put the last coat of polycrylic on them. After they dry, they should be ready for their new knots. I only have one on hand right now. Two are on the way.

Jayaruh #150

I made this handle with pheasant wood. No intermediate pictures. Next I will put a clear finish on it and then set it with a new knot, to be determined.
