polish wooden knife scales /handles
HI all, I'm trying to fnd the most effective wway of finishing off the
wooden knife scales. I've tried rouge and then buffing but this doesn't seem to be very effective. I've tried a very very fine grit wet and dry and this so far seems to be the best method, but i still feel there must be a better way. |

Most wood buffs very well, but I've never tried rouge on the wheel.. Normal process is tripoli, then white diamond, then carnauba wax.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

What's tripoli? thanks David Zebra is hard to buff "naked" because of the open grain... I usually put a coat of Danish Oil or sanding sealer on it before buffing.. I use the Beall buffing system: http://www.bealltool.com/products/buffing/buffer.php Available direct from them or at Woodcraft, Lee Valley, etc..... mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
