Dave,
What finish did you use on that artwork?
Stoutstuff
Believe it or not there is no finish!
The set is made from Stabilized wood. You cut and shape then start sanding with 80 grit working up to 600 grit. Next step is to use buffing compound and a buffing wheel and buff away, then out pops the finish you see! It could actually be buffed to a glass like look if one wanted it that shinny!
I had David Pitt from California make this custom knife to match.
