Sweet! A collaboration! This needs it's own thread guys. Document the hell out of it! Pics, narrative, whys and hows.

Hehe it'll be like watching the lake dry up, you know how fast I am.

There's also the small matter of it being a gift.  Possibly a surprise.  It'll be a fun project regardless.

For the curious, I have finally put together some bits to mail!

Hopefully tomorrow.  Some Tandy, some Mystery (I think it's Wickett and Craig), some Hermann Oak.  Some plain, some stamped and antiqued, some tooled and dyed and antiqued, and one small bit of oiled and waxed with a skived end, different thicknesses, etc.  Looking forward to seeing what happens when you wet em and wrap em around a handle.  

I think if you just lightly wet the backs to form them, the tooling/stamping should be ok.  Some folks talk about this with gun holsters, to maintain the tooling.  I myself have not done it, so looking forward to seeing if it works well in this application.
