Same wood as my carry Sierra...and it looks just like that!!! As nice a job as you did Randy, I'd caution you that HRB cracks like nothing else!!! I've had "dry stuff" sitting around for years in pen blank sizes and the stuff cracks like crazy! The the CA finish holds up great but they crack several weeks down the road. I'm sure other have other opinions and results, but that was mine. Yours sure looks nice!
