Farmboy91 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Well it's done and back together. Gave it a final little rub with vasaline last night, put it back together and buffed it up this morning. I'd like to thank all those for their input on the previous threads regarding this. Made and learnt from a few mistakes along they way but it wouldn't have got to where it was without the tips from you lot. So thank you 👍 Feels slightly bitter sweet after BASC's wonderful announcement this morning. ( Yes I know it's only a little Belgian folder but its my first). I suppose it will make a nice wall hanger one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logunator Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 ive been working on a few stocks of late,but yes checkering always ends up darker its because the wood there is rough and it darkens really easy the stock would be the same if you only used say 240 grade but i find when sanding walnut or any tight grained hardwood the finer the paper you use,say up to and above 1500 grade you can actually polish the wood with it pic of one of mine,beech,black stain and truoil(sprayed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
