Ok, Got the bevel where I think it can be . Not where i would ultimately like it to be but quite acceptable . took it to 1000, 4000, 8000, chromium oxide on the fabric strop , then onto the leather...

Ok , now you are making me think shooter . 2 layers of tape , pressure ? I guess questions I have are these. what grit to start with 220 or 1000 ? How much pressure ? and keep going till bevel is...

3rd pictures shows the uneven bevel

Here are a few pics
