Ok thanks to the advice of several people I'm done with polishing. It's not perfect but it's good enough for me. The scales are a work in progress still. I drew up a few designs and am not sure what I'm going to do. Might hone it up and shave with it as a Kamisori just to see what it can do. The ironwood burl is calling me! One of the blanks in the first set broke going through the planer. Luckily I have a backup which I can stabilize first so they won't break. Thanks again Charlie!
