Day four, Bare ASH Naked.............

[randucci]

I got her finished today and am very happy with the way it turned out. It is pretty much the way I received it except for the satin finish and the rounded top spine.

 

[J. Rosa]

WOW!!!!
I love it, especially the spine. What is the thickness on it?

 

[STEELWHORE]

I like it! :thumbup:

It measures .317" at the Ricasso after being stripped.

[SplittinHairs]

Wow -- very nice. You were able to maintain the laser etch too:thumbup:

 

[robert65]

Wow that's awsome did you have to remove scales to give it the satin finsh?

 

[randucci]

Yes, I removed the scales so I could give a good satin finsh to the Ricasso and the butt of the handle.

OUTSTANDING!!! What sanding process did you use Tim? Flapwheel?

 

[Jeepnut22]

Yeah, more details! I guess HOG Name is nicely etched!

 

[ksjumpmd]

Another beautiful mod! Great job!

 

[Bigfattyt]

looking great. There must be something in the watter where you live. How far are you from Spokane (or Spokompton as we like to call it)?

 

[gundy]

Unbeliveable! I love it mate.

I have inspiration!

 

[c4man]

That is a dandy, Ducci!

 

[resinguy]

Randucci has a 12" diameter, 4" wide Scotchbrite wheel on his lathe.

 

[mfaster7]

Nice work. Now I am almost sorry I did not get one

 

[xaman]

now that"s NICE!

 

[Cutshaw]

That does look great! The rounded spine is a great touch.

 

[lunde]

Impressive! It's like a whole new class of LE. :thumbup:

OUTSTANDING!!! What sanding process did you use Tim? Flapwheel?

I hand sanded the flats (similar to what I will be doing with this FBM), 120 then 220 grit paper.

The blade didn't need sanding after the paint removal, I just used my lathe with a 4" wide X 12" diameter scotch brite wheel. You do need to be carefull of the etchings or they would get removed.

NIce Lathe. I think I will get a 2x72 scotchbrite belt for my grinder.
