Center drill for a spot 😅 I know where that came from... What some people do (old tool makers and such) is heat the metal up cherry and drop it into boiled linseed oil. It blues things up nice.
The pin in the handle is a mosaic pin. They can be made or they can be purchased in any number of designs. I bought both the mosaic pin and the stabilized burl on Etsy. Both typically used in knife handles. The pin for the head I just turned down from solid brass to a snug fit and hammered it to form it in the hole for hopefully a permanent connection.
@@makerunderground @makerunderground I'll have to give Mosaic pins a closer look. I was surprised the design on the face of the pin didn't disappear when you trued things up. Always learning!

That's pretty darn posh looking. The wood handle was a great idea!
Absolutely spectacular product! What exactly are those pins you used in the handle and head?
