Finished this one up today from a mystery bush fork I got from a neighbor's brush pile last weekend , and was made with only a Mora blade, a bit of sandpaper, small torch, and CA glue for the finish.....bark partially left on the handle as it had a cool, green color.

Is there any reason you charred the wood other than it looks cool.?

Its so shinny! Did you show your neighbor what he missed. Im glad you kept the cool texture on the handle. I think its funny that you blow torched it because you got it from a burn pit. Like it was destined to be set a blaze.

Forum folks that know me know that I really like natural forks and that is a a perfect one.. I like the fact you left the bark on part of the fork.

Thanks Q, means a lot.....I just used Nathan Masters method he has posted on his YouTube channel.
It's really pretty easy, it just burns the crap out of your eyes if not well ventilated work area.
