Well I ran it around in my head long enough. Having a hard time triing to pick a route to go to give a new set of handles a shot so I shot that idea down and grabed my card scraper and set out to clean up the old. I wrapped up the tumb hole handle today. The thing that is disappointing the most with this is the machined look and the fit. While some may cring I modified this to fit my hand a bit better and carved a little lambs tounge on the bottom. It gave it just a little more spice. Im happy so far. Tomarrow it gets a coat of teak oil then onto the other. This handle has a small chip in it so Im not sure how im going to handle this one but maybe I will have some sort of creative dream tonight. I was impress with the qualisole I used on the #7 handle its simple and nice. I still may give the tru-oil a shot going to have to head to woodcraft sooner or later.:D
