Skookum Bush Tool Type Knife Build

I've placed an order for a Skookum Bush Tool knife and was informed by the maker Rod Garcia  that the wait time is over two years. So I thought I would go ahead and try to make my own for the time being.  I have documented the process on the BushcraftUSA website on this thread.

This is how the knife sits right now awaiting the handle scales to be formed and attached.
