What are you working on?

Awesome! What is it, Rez?

OH! A Rodgers!

Yup. Joseph Rogers and the boys, or Sons. It seems pretty decent.

Sealing some Jnats with cashew lacquer. I've been working on this for a week now, giving at least 72 hours of curing time between thin coats. Today's coat should be the last, I'll clean them up, bevel, and re-lap in another week or two.

These pictures are from earlier in the week: the long, narrow stone (Nakayama Asagi Suita) and its Tomo only have one coat; The irregular stone (Oozuku Kiita Koppa) and its Tomo as well as the large stone (Nakayama Asagi Tomae) have two coats. I won't go back in the shop to take new ones until the surface has cured at least 24 hours.

Nice job on both those razors Shaun. Scales look fantastic. That TH is looking much better already as well Andrew.

I'm ripping up some bog oak for a few projects today.
Knarly looking edges from being in an Irish bog for well over 4000 years.

But awesome hardness, and spooky black stain running all the way through it. Just trimmed the edges to get to some square stock. But I'm keeping these raw edges for something TBD.

Those are some nice scales sharptonn. Did you bevel the scale edges by hand or did you use a router?

**MikeB52** · 04-22-2017, 09:19 PM

He surely did Mike. I'm keeping it intact as long as possible as we were working on a few ideas before he went dark again..Just nibbling around the edges,, hehe

Nice Henkel Tom, nothing tiny about that beauty!

Nice big chunks of bog oak there, B52. So, that's bog oak used for the scales on the Henkel, right? Is that the one Outback rescaled? I think I remember that one. Man, that stuff is black.
