Thread: 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.
