Someone's been looking through this thread, and posted a "like" for these pics!!!
(From 4 years ago) They are so nostalgic for me, I thought I'd repost them here; they show old Boiley, the first TC out of a tube, and one of its creative influences, the NYK, which I consider one of the most perfect, old Barlows!!

The mark side almost looks like wood! Must be the "cut", and the age! It is definitely changing over the years!! Here it is today!! I shoulda carved the pile side instead!!

I experimented with a forced patina, using hot cider vinegar. In the second attempt I soaked the whole knife!! It raised a grain/roughened the bone, so I had to sand it smooth - lightly!! What you see is was I got!! The hot bath spawned the name,old Boiley!!

So that bone handle when soaked in hot vinegar makes it look like the grain of an old oak tree or any wood for that matter.

It already looked like wood - the "bath" just emphasized it a bit!!!
