Finish coat for Dymondwood??
Hey guys,
I ran across an old piece of Dymondwood I bought from Koval's years and years ago, and decided to use it on a kitchen knife. I haven't used this stuff in a long time. What do you prefer for a finish? Finish as is and buff, or give it a coat of Tru-oil or something else? I have some marine spar varnish I may put on, since it will see water occasionally (hand washing). The blade is 1080, so it will get a little better than normal care for a kitchen knife. Thanks! Nathan |

Dymondwood doesn't need a finish- I dont think it will take a finish anyway. I just hand sand to 1000 grit. If I buff it, I just go easy on it with green then pink compound.

No finish is need. All stabilized woods are intended to be used without any additional finish. Even though Dymondwood is a laminate it is essentially stabilized by virtue of its manufacturing process. Sand it to 400 grit or as much finer as you care to go and leave it for a satin finish or buff it for a glossy finish...
