working on a new handle and sheath--- finish ideas needed
hello everyone.
It has been a little while but I am working on a new sheath and handle. . here are the last 2 I did. and I am changing the style a little on the sheath. I was told they are double stabilized/ injected. I would like to have a high gloss thick coating. any ideas? __________________ 31 years old and home computer is a PSP!!!

I'm not sure what was ment by double stabilized but the wood should be thoroughly impregnated with resin whatever it is. A wheel with a rounded face should give you the pattern that you want or maybe you could shape a flap wheel and use it. As far as finish goes, stabilized wood needs none. Just sand out to a fine grit then buff.

I think he means double dyed
Sand to at least 600 and then hit with the buffer with white or pink compound If you don't have a buffer, sand to atleast 600 and use carnuba car wax and hand buff For the effect in your second post, round hand files work or small wheel on your grinder |
