Title: First Full Tang
Post by: SveinD on December 16, 2010, 02:31:00 PM

I am about to finish my first full tang knife, as a gift for a friend.
I just found out that no shop in town sells Danish Oil, which I was going to use as a finish.
Stores only have "finish oil" which I know little about!

As Christmas is approaching I am contemplating doing a super glue finish.
Do any of you know if I will need to apply laquer or something after the super glue finish to protect the wood from color loss?

Woods are Padauk and Osage.
Here is a pic as well, with alcoholstain, though as my friend is a TGer, I hope he doesn't see it^^

Any vegetable oil will work.  Soak it in.  Sand it smooth, then coat with wax and buff to a nice finish.
