Not using tung oil helped maintain it's bright orange/red color.

Don't believe I ever posted this one. This was the first kit I made.
Walnut and cherry. Cut angle was 60 degrees.
It has two different views. Same screwdriver.
BLO finish.

How long will it last?
Was always curious about color fastness so I guess we'll see. Hedge (local cut, dried in my shop), sanded to 600, CA for a crack (hedge=crack=always), CA for the rest of the handle to even it out, BLO (or was it BLO then CA?), nasty spar varnish with UV inhibitors. I kept the shape real simple cause I want to see what the colors will do.

Padauk. Polished with EEE. No other finish yet. Too cold
I think the ferrule that comes with the kit is a little too big, so made one out copper pipe.
