Well, it's done.
Alpine Blackwood capped with charred Oak, varnished and set with a steel design to match one of the kilt pins I made out of a spoon.

Here it was before I sanded and varnished it.


And this is it all finished.



The grain was so close and smooth that I decided just to varnish it to protect it and leave it without carving.
I really like it and I'm hoping to wear it soon.


Another big thanks to Raptor for the wood.
