That is a lovely piece of workmanship. The finish on the handle is stunning.

Thanks guys, I would say that these projects are great fun to do - just a little bit every day and you get something useful for the start of a new season. Now it's rod building and continuing building the frame for the cedar strip canoe.

As you are still sanding, how do you intend to finish this masterpiece?

Awesome Malcolm, impressive engineering and craftsmanship, in admiration of skill & man hours!
Well done.

That'll be it I think. The woods are so naturally oily they won't need oiling at all. Currently polishing up with 2000 grade. Don't know why it'll be getting bashed about on the river bank in the summer!

Agree on the oily wood bit, but I'd still try some Rustin's Beeswax to protect it- just a suggestion!
