Thanks, nothing to see yet. Sand, fill, sand, fill...etc you guys know the routine.

She's basically gray primer with spots filled.

The knife handles are home made from scrap wood. I like the feel of a wood handle.

Coco Bolo Black Walnut, Purple Heart, Osage Orange, mahogany...whatever I have laying around.

I get scrap wood from a local custom cabinet shop. They use a lot of exotic woods .

Occasionally I do some small turning jobs for them so they let me rummage through their scraps.

The big pointy thing is a scratch all punch made from an old drill bit and over on the left are some marking knives for wood working.

The marking knife blades are from old worn out SawsAll blades...I don't thow much of anything away.
