    I agree to nice of wood to stain. I'm going go with oil not sure what oil yet any suggestions on oil from the wood workers?
    Linseed, tung, mineral?

    I would go with several coats of food grade mineral oil (butcher block oil).

    Do not use linseed oil, that stuff never really dries.

    Getting some shape to it. I may take a little more off the edges? Its already feeling good in the hand but I think its still a bit chunky.

    Very cool knife. Did you use epoxy to attach your pins and scales?

    Did some hand sanding with some 400 grit and hit it with some mineral oil and I'm calling this done. The color looks fantastic oiled.

    Want to thank Robie at PF for the purple heart stocks and for slicing them up on his table saw he did a really nice job with the measurements I sent him they were perfect thanks Robie for everything!

    And thanks to SOCOM42 , Inor and Madtrapper for the tips and input along the way.
