I'd have carefully stained the white part of the apple handle,but in later years,it might have looked different,then. Excellent choice of handle models,too. Fantastically delicate lambs tongue ,ala Two Lawyers!!! I like the idea of decorating the end of the back,too.
I urge you to make your next dovetail .010" thick. They really saw a thin line,then. Did you make your own backs? Where are you located?
