In part two of the handle fitting and shaping video, I go through my process if shaping a handle. Sometimes I have an idea for a handle, but end up changing it after I see the handle material on the knife.

Looking good! Slick way to do your layout. Question: do you ever stabilize walnut?

[@Hathenbrucksteelworks]

Thank you! I have stabilized walnut before. It’s takes quite a while to get it stabilized well.
