cut and shaped the pommel..........sanded the antler and put it thro 3 stages of polish using a lamb fat medium block...which puts some colour back into the surface......

its all together and dry finished ....need to repolish the blade and fitings and finally rivet and sharpen.........

im pleased how the blade follows the curve of the handle...and it sits well in the hand and feels balanced.......

Thank you all for you comments.............the reason i do document it.....is im sure it will give other folk the confidence to try something.........

 

time to close the thread now........the rivet is in now so it doesnt belong to me anymore....given its final polish...and i will hang on to it until next week...and then with difficulty i will post it off.......as i say before each one is unnique .....thats why i enjoy making them...and knowing they will stay with someone and it will make them smile.......

 

suppose i better get on with my shooting table and stuff.......
