6/8 Frederick Reynolds Concave w/ Buddel Scales

The blade is a FR I got on Ebite with tortoise scales that were beyond repair. I polished it up to a satin finish (by choice, not laziness). The scales are a Walnut/Kiaat fusion, similar to Buddel's experiments, but without a glue line. The Spacer is cocobolo and the finish is linseed oil. Somone on here has dibs, but if they pass I'll be selling this one.

Cheers,

How do you get the satin finish? Looks nice.

I stop at 600 grit and leave some scratches from the 400 grit flapwheel. I then finish it on the buffer with grey and green rouges. The scratches left by the 400 grit flapwheel are parallel to the blade, which I find looks nice.

Great work. I´m impressed, that you has no glue line. How you reached this?
