    Post Columbia Cutlery, 6/8 half hollow

    Here's the second project from the last two weeks.

    A 6/8 half hollow, Columbia Cutlery. This one had many and deep pits, and still does. I realized as I was sanding, that there were so many it made a bit of a pattern, so I decided to leave them. I sanded from 220-2000, and buffed with red rouge, CrOx, and MAAS.

    The scales are my first time with Padauk, and I really enjoyed working with this wood. I also love the colour. The finish is Tung Oil, which I find really keeps the warmth of the wood. I personally love soft finishes.

    The wedge is Dunlop Tortex guitar picks.

    Thanks for looking at this one too!

    Had me at Tung oil but the guitar picks are a great idea

    Great job! How does it shave? I like the quarter and half grinds. This is just my kind of razor.

    I have no idea! Hopefully she's on the hones by this weekend. It may be a sunday shave. I'll let you know.
