I put a handle on a new Helle blade this weekend.  Thought you might have some comments on it!

What's the wood and how did you finish it?

Thanks for the stump

It's rosewood, I hoped it would be a little more figured than what it is.  I use spray laquer for a finish.  Dries fast and is easily fixed if necessary.  Thanks for the kind comments.

Hit or Miss...

Looks like you scored a hit with this one.  A nice functional set-up.  Really like the Helle Blades.  Are you gonna make a sheath for it?

I'm thinking about sending about 4 of them to my cousin, he does much better leather work than I'll ever do.  I may even let him keep one! ;D
