Thanx Charlie.
Like the grinder setup
Mixed up a batch of orange a month ago and only use it as a sealer. Must give it a try as a finish. Looks great.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

Never thought about shellac for a finish on scales, and I have so much of it around here. Big fun to work with, matter of fact I just Frenched a friends guitar about 2 weeks ago. Turned out nice and glassy. K, gotta go cut some scales....

it does look cool, would you mind explaining the vinegar etch? would it work on already polished out blades or would they have to be sanded out first? great work man.

Purty Charlie, form and function. Well done.

I am a French polishing fool, it is good to see another person who French's. I brushed this one though. My name is Charlie and I am a shellacaholic. Originally Posted by denmason

I have not tried it on a highly polished razor. I have used it on metal sanded to 800 grit. I assume it would work, but have not experimented. I just put it in the viniegar and let it soak. I did not heat it this time. Every now and then I would take it out wipe off the black film and check its prgress. Originally Posted by Big Red
