>>863737Dipped the head into rust remover
I'm not huge on using chemicals for stuff like this, but my father swears by it so I gave it a go
Partial results of this will be blow, and eventually full results when I reach that point
Start on carving a handle, oak, 33 inches long, a little longer than arm's length. It was the most I could get out of the board before it completely warped to shit. This bit looked decently straight
There are nail holes in this board and I'm worried that might be an issue down the road, though the wood is pretty nice otherwise
I didn't get a pic of the wood before any shaping took place, but here's only partway into the process
There's a lot of wood to thin away, so I'm not too worried about the aforementioned slight warping since I can remove enough to negate the warping somewhat
