Found this old knife steel at an estate sale for $1 sans handle and plus plenty of rust. I'd just spent 2.5 days shuffling little bits of this and that from one container to another over the weekend (what I call "organizing" what LOML calls .. well.. she has descriptive terms for it anyway..) so needed a bit of a break and figured I could kill two birds with one stone, first I get this off of my bench and second I get to take a break.
Pear wood (salvaged from a buddies woodpile), skew work mostly, burned in amber shellac (flakes plus moonshine), and a top coat of bar carnuba buffed out. Didn't quite get the ends how I wanted them, could have turned those outer beads over a smidge more (but it ain't coming off of the steel).
