[WValtakis]

Time to start sanding it out to 2000 grit

 

[WValtakis]

Shiny! Time to start working on the lock side

 

[WValtakis]

Lock side coming along nicely

 

[WValtakis]

Time to get started on anodizing and the hand-brushed swirly satin for the wind sections

 

[WValtakis]

Terrible lighting as usual, but it's coming along nicely

Alright! Gotta mask the flats and zirblast the edges of the slabs back to gray and then they're done! Then just some hardware finish work and reassembly!

Just finished up, time for this hand engraved and selectively anodized Sharknivco "Windy Waka" to head over to SharpByCoop for glamor shots and then on to PVK to pair up with it's Waves brother! Keep an eye out for it!

You stink. I dislike your work greatly.

Another fine piece, Walta$$$ki. Seriously. I am partial to the prior waves motif, but another banger for sure.
