Need help to create the BRUSHED LOOK (SCOTCH BRITE) finish

[Kurniadion]

You did a great job.
So you sanded it, not Scotchbrite?

Thanks man.
Correct. 100% sanded. Never tried scotch brite but since the sandpaper is cheap on harbor freight, I gave it a try. I also assume it will be easier to produce a better results on grooved surface like mine since the sandpaper can be laid flat. I guess for a full brushed look on a plain Jane, it will be easier using scotch brite pads.

If you do this, try to use something flat to sand on...something like a glass pane or such to try and minimize rolling of the chamfer transitions..Also helps to keep the look even as the scale is pretty flat to begin with.

I have a 14"x14" piece of tempered glass that came from an old computer desk that I kept for this. It works great for sharpening too when using sandpaper that surface is truly flat. For Scotchbrite finishes, Id use the green pad and follow what Haze indicateda s the final step after the 600 grit.
