Thanks Mike! Nothing special, but I think it will do a good job for someone. The poor pigs ...

Thank you! No, it's acacia. Here in Bulgaria, people put acacia sticks in homemade brandy. Acquires a nice yellow color.

Way to go Eustace, looks great with that acacia wood handle. Great work you do, keep it up and hope you keep showing stuff like that.
