Very nice, do you cut and polish yourself? How do they get that mirror finish, is it sort of buffed?

Re: set of scales
Hi Jon. You have some nice wood.
Where are you getting it all from as I dont recall seeing trees that nice in Plymouth last time I was there (lol).
What else have you got for sale?
Kevin.

Re: set of scales
A!! plymouth has it's own woods
yeah i cut every burl by hand with a saw
burls are very easy to finish it just sand them and oil them with olive oil
wait till you see what i got this time down another wood. Some oak burl if you wanted some what sort of size would you be looking for?

Alas I'm not a maker, just admiring the wood. That's a lovely finish, you get that just with sanding and olive oil? Do you need a belt machine or a orbital sander? Does it have to be hardened with resin or glue or something?

Re: set of scales
it does'nt need to be harded.
nor do you need a belt sander
just some sand paper 120grit and 400gritwet&dry
the wood is very hard tho and it takes a long time to sand like that 10mins
