handle for my dads fire place cleaver.

[spareparts]

that's about 6 coats of semi gloss over the maple. I've moved on and the next set will be teak. I got started on this idea when i saw a kimber with bone grips, i researched it a bunch, found a place that had bone and figured i needed to practice before I tried the bone, somewhere along the way, I got reasonable and thought about me having to hold something white, it would stay that color for about 10 seconds, then it would have big dirty paw prints on it, so I started playing with different wood. My sister runs a millwright shop near Raleigh, she gave me some nice scraps to start with

Kracker - a vintage cleaver of that quality needs to be swinging a butt atop a maple butcher block .. . . . . or to spatchcock a bird.

They don't make em like that anymore.
