    Default My belt sander got a workout...

    This razor is a 5/8 Wade & Butcher that I sanded to a 400-grit satin finish and then treated with liquid gun bluing.

    The scales are bubinga wood finished with Tung Oil. The pins and spacer are brass.

    It came out pretty well for my first power sanding job. I don't have my high-grit belts yet, so I had to finish the sanding by hand.

    The bluing is a little uneven for some reason, even though I immersed the blade in the liquid. And the blade is slightly off center; not sure whether I could have changed that or not. The tang seemed slightly off center before I pinned the razor...

    The belt sander makes this whole process much simpler. I find I can more accurately shape the scales because the sander removes material evenly and at a predictable rate. Fun!

    Josh
