HI , I've just cut some handles for a knife, but now I need to
'finish' the wood. I'm a real newbie to woodworking. Can anyone tell
me the best way to finish the wood?
cheers

Hi,
Alot of knife makers just use rouge on a buffing wheel to finsh there
handles.
I like to use tung oil on the wood handles.

Thanks Randy, how many coats of the tung oil do you use, and do you
buff it up after?
cheers
