[QUOTE="i.keenum, post: 386214, member: 1799"] Thank you again! I was actually able to cut one scale into two for that handle and now have the other one still , so will still get some further use out of it. Thanks again for adding that piece in, a lot of people go for bright colors but I really appreciate the beauty of just the natural color of wood. It had a nice red , tan, and brown color alternating stripes one way and the curly grain the other way. I brought it up to 1200 then used johnsons paste wax and it absolutely shimmered. On a side not have you ever thought about saving the power from sanding / cutting copper and brass and rubbing it into the wood before you seal it? I'll notice that when I am doing the high sanding on the PINS that some times the super fine metal dust gets in the wood end grain and makes it shimmer, I've always wiped it off but have thought about rubbing it all over and sealing it.
