I would go that route if I had the time and the tools

 

[Magus]

I used a hand sander and buffer

I'd like to make a set of scales for you. But time just doesn't allow at this time.

That would look great with cherry or walnut

Oh yeah! Either of those would be killer
I might be going with Elk antler

Speaking of antler handles have you seen the price of Elk antlers lately!!!!!!!!?
I used to go to pet supply stores and dig thru the chew bone (antler) boxes, you could find some real good pieces and big enuf to make a very nice handles for about 25.00.
A month ago the DW and I stopped by to buy a bag of pup food so I naturally mossied over to the chew bone section........... !!!!!!!! $3.88 an OUNCE!!!!!

If you have a JC in the area, contact the shop teacher and ask if there is a college kid who would like to earn a buck.
