    Update

    Just a little update...
    Sunday I hope to get a fair bit more accomplished. I also purchased a few blank balsa wood boxes to use as presentation boxes. I have some good foam-like material that I thought I could shape to hold the knife and a kilt pin, and then cover the foam with velvet. I don't know what I may do with the outside of the box. I would like to stain it a dark colour, but I will have to test that out. Then all I have to do is make the name plates for the presentation box.
    Fingers crossed this all works,

    Stain before glue, right?

    That's what I was thinking. I am going to try the stain on the bottom of one. If it does not turn out I'll keep that box and figure out what to do with the rest.
    I can't wait till this weekend to get started!

    Update!!

    I had to put off my project for a few weeks (Sick dog, but he is ok now and too many hours at work!) The boxes are finished, both inside and out. The two antler Sgian Dubhs are finished (The Jedi one and the one I made for myself) I just need to sew the sheaths up. The wooden handle one (The Empire) is all glued up and stained. I just want to add some wax to the handle before I put the little emblem on it.
    Hopefully everything will be finished before our gift exchange on Saturday.
    I'll post pics on Sunday hopefully.
