I thought I’d show you the results of my first rehandle attempt here since I did use stag. It is an Eye Brand trapper that despite being fairly recent had begun the outgassing process. The scales were turning, fittings turned dark and some rust pitting had set in on the blades. I certainly see my imperfections and mistakes in the results. But I’m okay with it since I expected some rookie problems. I struggled with the hafting, the pin spinning and trying to clean the pits up. In the end I declared it “good enough“ and quit to prevent further errors. Sorry, no before pics because I was convinced I would never show it. But since my wife isn’t much of a knife audience, here it is.
My thanks to Bill DeShivs and Orvet for answering my questions.

After seeing the results, my advice to you is to go ahead and quit your day job; there's enough knife rehandling work sought by members here on AAPK to keep a man with your obvious skills gainfully employed for a very long time Gorgeous stag, impressive work....are you sure this is your very first attempt

Great job, Froe!
You put the better looking and more straight piece on the Mark side, and the piece that needed more hafting on the back. Good choice.
The stag has good figuring and color. It fits tight against the bolsters with no gaps, and the hafting looks good. Your pins look very good. I also like that you thinned down the handle scales enough, so that they are not too thick. Some people like "fat stag", but I far prefer seeing more of the outer bark of the antler.
All in all, that is a knife to be proud of, sir!

[Froe]

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate all of your kind comments. It was a fun project.
