Hi all,

This is a particularly great post for me. Up to this point I've hand sanded all of my blades. Well, with a little money saved here and there, I've been able to afford a variable speed grinder, the greaseless compounds, and the wheels.

This is my very first attempt at the compounds. I wanted this one to be a satin finish, because I don't own anything like that. So I left it after 600, and used Bocote and Tung oil for the scales. I didn't buff the scales either, just a quick hand rub. Bone wedge.

She's a 7/8 W&B, and she's awesome.
