    Default My third attempt....

    Rosewood with Teak oil finish and carnauba wax.
    machines screw pins.
    Basswood spacers
    Wapi Blade


    Lessons learned..

    * Drill the holes prior to sanding and finishing while the 2 scales are still taped together.

    * Drill into a piece of wood to avoid chip out.

    * Cut and size the spacer prior to finishing.


    Rosewood is a beautiful wood but harder than walnut so it will chip out a little if you don't drill into something else.

    It also has a a coarse surface texture that needs to be carefully cleaned up.




    I get a little closer to a good finish with each try.


    - Bob
