Video - RW Wilson Demonstrates How to Finish a Curly Maple Knife or Tomahawk Handle

I had the opportunity to meet with RW Wilson yesterday at a knife makers shop near me in Colorado. RW showed me his techniques for sanding, staining, and finishing his curly maple tomahawk handles. His finish looks like glass with outstanding curly maple figure showing through. RW has been a knife maker for many years and is a wealth of knowledge. I wanted to share his techniques with our ABS members and filmed the video below for the ABS YouTube Channel.
