Wooden (brass) Knuckles

I have always wanted some brass knuckles but didn't have the resources. I finally decided to make a wooden pair.

Measuring.

First I measured my wood to the desired length.

Cutting.

When I had measured my wood I cut it. (Apparently I didn't cut it very straight.)

Sanding.

After I cut the wood, I sanded it.

Next I drew the shape of the knuckle.

I used a jig saw to cut out the shape as well as the holes.

Once the knuckle was done sanded and shaped it with a grinder. (I don't have a belt sander.)

Staining

Finally I stained it with, Golden Pecan 245. Here is the finished knuckle.
