Great work, love the Kingwood scales. I see it is in the Rosewood family, did you have to wash in acetone prior to applying the CA? How many coats? Does Kingwood take plain wax like Brazilian Rosewood?
Very nice work and scale design.

Those look great! Would you mind sharing your sanding progression, and you use a dremel or buffing wheels, etc? I've been getting into restoring lately but am having trouble bringing my blades to a true mirror finish.
