@Sprung I'll send you a total tonight when I get home from work the diamond detailer do you want it in the 3/8 or 1/2"bar?

Got my tool in a very timely manner and had a chance to get it handled the other day. Much to the dismay of @Tony and @Bean_counter who told me to use something more generic, I went with African Blackwood for the handle. As I put handles on tools, or rehandle some of my HSS tools, I'm doing each handle in a different wood or type of figure. Two coats of spray shellac, sanded lightly with 220, followed by two coats of satin lacquer from a rattle can on this one, buffed with 0000 steel wool and then a coat of Renaissance Wax.
