White text?

You can't read black text?

Something is screwy. I reported it to the admin. Thanks for letting me know.

This is what my android sees. Can dwalker uninstall and reinstall the app to make sure everything is compatible and up to date.

Edited to make original in color so dwalker can see it.

Thanks Angie

I spit beer reading this! This is too funny!

Well, this is what I see. It is probably something on my end.

I want to make it clear that when this knife is complete the "buy it now" price will disappear.

Here's the completed handle for this knife. It's straight grained AZ Ironwood with streaked blond buffalo horn.

I have a new oil/varnish sealant that I'm mixing for oily woods that I used on this handle and I suspect that it should weather better than usual.

The handle shows a nice sheen in person that wasn't picked up by the camera on this overcast day.

I see the same. I think it's just the dark background option on your end. Worst case you can highlight/select Dave's text and it will be ledgable

See <settings> uncheck [ ]night reading mode. Solved it for me

What do you guys think of the handle?

It looks great to me Dave, I love straight grained ironwood and it looks sweet with the streaking in the horn.

I think this piece of horn is the perfect match for this piece of Ironwood! Well played, sir! :thumbsup:
