Thanks fellas.

I simply have to work on my photo skills. The blade grind looks quite rough and it's a fairly decent mirror.

Nathan, I didn't cork finish this one -- I finished it down to a Norton Norax 5x (36, 120, 100x 65x or 30x which ever I grab, 15x and then 5x). Once the 5x is done it's a pretty good and clean mirror. I finish with sewn 8" buff (that matches the grind radius)using K&G's custom green compound and hit it for maybe 30-60 seconds. Enough to put a final polish but not wash out the grind. It's the best green I've found so far but it doesn't work on a cork. It's so dry it just flies off - it needs a bit more wax - but it's great on a buff wheel. It's pricey to boot but worth it.
I'll try and post a little better pic before the turkey and the Lions put me in major nap mode tomorrow.
