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.

What kind of wood?

Any finish or oil on the scales?

Most wood buffs very well, but I've never tried rouge on the wheel..

Normal process is tripoli, then white diamond, then carnauba wax..

its zebra wood, no oil no finish. What's tripoli?

Medium compound, intermediate between emery
and red jeweler's rouge. Originally derived from
the soil near Tripoli, thus the name.
