A while back I made this craft knife following the excellent blog that Philip wrote about it.
Whilst sifting through my pictures for something else I came across the build photos I took at the time so I thought to share them :)
The wood that I used is birch, which was chopped down here a couple years ago and has been drying for firewood ever since.
@LowlandsLeather How cool is that! Perhaps you could mix a few drops of your birch oil with linseed oil and make the grain pop!
