About 1960 I was walking by a Hardware Store and noticed in the window, the most beautiful gun I had ever seen (to this day). A Weatherby, on a Mesquite stock. That bluing knocked my sox off. A blue mirror on a perfectly polished barreled action. Since that day I've had a strong admiration for a polish that leads to a gorgeous finish, Plain, Blued, or, the more exotic Rockstead DLC black mirror. You have to see it to believe it. Beautiful. And, it all starts with the polishing.
Someplace I had seen a thread that talked about Linen Belts being really outstanding for knife bevel polishing work. So, I found a source for Klingspor and ordered up a couple. Now I'm looking for suggestions as to how best to use the Linen Belt. What compounds, and procedures will bring out the results that the linen belts are capable of.
We are lucky to have quite a few contributors here who have polishing down to a science. Mad Rookie and Quackster are notables that come to mind immediately. That's the level of quality that I'd like to produce. I just have to come up a couple of hundred notches.
Anything you could pass along to help me out would be most appreciated. Best Regards,
Jeff
