    Default Thanks John

    So a wonderful member here had a couple of slabs of blood wood that he wanted to trade for some microfasteners. I had purchased some when I first started making scales, so I happily sent him some and got the slabs yesterday. I looked through Russell's CA finish tutorial and figured I give it a shot.

    I had recently found a Puma Silber (actually Mrs. Richmondesi found it and I got to buy it) that was in a set of painted wooden scales , so I figured this was a good opportunity for me to get this wonderful blade in something a bit more appropriate .

    As you'll no doubt see I have some room for improvement, but I was pretty happy with the results .

    Nice job Jim! The finish brought out the color of the wood beautifully. Well done.

    (And thanks again for the fasteners - it was an absolute pleasure trading with you.)

    Jimeddy, That is truly a great job on that restoration. I showed the shmbo and she said it was awesome. You got one nice razor now!

    That looks better
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
