Never used Osage Orange for a handle before but as tough as this wood is it should make a good one.
I've never worked with this wood before and wasn't sure how to darken it. I know if you leave it out in the sun it will darken on its own.
I didn't want to wait that long so I decided to try Aquafortis on it. The Aquafortis made it pretty dark and highlighted the grain some, all in all, I think it came out pretty nice.
