Thanked: 804
Scales all complete now & happy with my first inlays project
sanded from 120 grit through to 2k on wet & dry then 3K, 4k & 5k sppnge backed type sanding discs
final polish with Ren. Wax gets me this finnish
once finally assembled it will get some more polishing when I do the pins & give it its final clean up to give it a bit more shine
still working on the blade @ 600 grit with the WD40 but I think I may have to drop down a grit or 2 to speed the process a bit
hope you enjoySaved,

So finished off the son-inlays str8, for now as I'm not 100% sold on the blade finish so it might change yet as I still have a month odd to go,
Finish is wet & dry to 2k then sponge disk to 5k grit then back to a 1500 grit for the scratch finish to try match the finish on the original tang grind etc
Yet to hone and shave test, but a surprise visit from family from interstate for the weekend for my nephews leaving for Europe for 2 years party has put a hold on everything else happening.
Keep you postedSaved,

You could easily use the same idea with any drill press for straight lines
The free hand lines are still a PITASaved,

Thanked: 804 Finally finished with 3 weeks to spare until the B'day
Finally finished this Biirthday present for the Son-inlaw, since he already has a badger brush & bowl, I only needed a couple of items to complete a str8 kit for him.
So this is it a John S. Holler "Celebrated" 6/8" square point wedge,
Idunit camel bone & abalone inlaid black buffalo horn scales,
Camel bone wedge with brass liners
brass Pins with brass & SS washers
meranti pine box wax coated carved and lined with craft foam & fluffy material (brain blank),
Ilinoise 835 strop cleaned up,
and my Original big daddy English bridle to use as a starter strop so he won't nick the thin 835
