Thanks.

I think they look better and better.<br />Somehow I have manged to not get them all grimy already. I am thinking of applying some wax to the handles when I get home, or perhaps some varnish or oil of a kind. <br />I have started turning some handles for the regular chisels I have brought with me, and the two I have completed so far were treated with some beeswax I brought with me. It looks fine when it is just applied on the lathe, but after handling the chisels they look worn and dirty in no time, So I guess it isn't the perfect finish for handles.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-10696478707520796822015-05-13T04:52:24.988-07:002015-05-13T04:52:24.988-07:00The handles look great!

I like the natural look of the handles, but I guess some sort of protective finish is necessary. Either way they look awesome.<br />Billconfusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-74671322959496271192015-05-10T21:10:44.991-07:002015-05-10T21:10:44.991-07:00Thanks.

I might just give them some DICK wax when I get home :-)<br />Cheers.<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-15510393148990522032015-05-10T17:25:08.139-07:002015-05-10T17:25:08.139-07:00They look great!
