Nice job Glenn! ::tu:: ::tu::

I like the coloration of the 863 you did a little better than Herman's, even though Herman's is a classic!
You are doing excellent work my friend! ::nod::

excellent work ::tu:: , the darker color looks great, I watched a video one time to darken Stag and with it not smooth it looked tedious to remove any residue and the shield looks great, I'm sure that's not easy to do on a narrow piece of Stag.

Thank you for the comments. I enjoy working with stag. It doesn't always reveal what it's going to end up looking like when finished until it's done, so that part of the fun.

I have a couple of pieces I am going to slice up and see if I can get some good pieces for a couple of folders.

DO Y'ALL ever do anything to "stabilize" the antler before you put it on a knife?
