Very nice!!
Job well done in all respects! :tu :tu Keep the coming!
Very nice, good effort
Sweet! Scales looks creamy and perfect for the razor
Awesome! It definitely compliments the tang! The wedge is nicely done! If one didn't know any better it wouldn't look you had one.
What finish did you use on scale if any?
When you said red polishing compound you meant jeweler's rouge no? Thanks
Scales were sanded from 400- to 2000-grit sandpaper, then I carefully used the 2000-grit to smooth out the pins. I finished with my Dremel by using 421 polishing compound on felt wheels. I have no idea how it compares to jeweler's rouge, but here's the product page:
421 Polishing Compound / Model: 421
Then I took some Maas to everything at the end. :)
As far as the pins go, the sandpaper worked pretty well and they have a nice smooth surface now as opposed to the faceted surface I get right after peening. Is that a normal way to get the mirror look or are you guys that darn good at peening? I used my Max razor to compare and his pins are like tiny convex mirrors!
