Using mine to clean up some of this other dead hard maple I took down. Its some tough chopping on the bigger stuff.
Thanks guys. It's just a mustard patina. Dabbed it on with a paper towel. Didn't take photos of the process this time, but you can see how I did it on the BK2 here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/mild-bk2-mod.1393307/ BK62: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/becker-bk62-mod.1632929/
Not the best picture of mine. A 16, two 14’s, and a 13. I used to have an 11 as well but someone needed more than me.
Got up before 6am to start smoking an 11 pound Boston Butt, by 10 most of the “indoor” pot of coffee was finished so I figured “hey I’ve got a twig burner and a ‘cowboy coffee’ pot- let’s do this!”
