Are you going to hone it?
Great job so far.
Love the idea of Amboyna Burl.
They aren't deep at all, but the uniformity and density makes it obvious that I didn't do a good enough job near the edge. I want to work them out of the blade purely from an aesthetic standpoint. Not sure if I should start with sandpaper (if so, what grit?) or if a black rouge would be enough. I'll probably send it off to be honed for now, since I do not own any honing gear. Still looking for the blanks for the scales, but I do think the Amboyna Burl would be gorgeous.
