good call, that looks great

I toiled for hours. Now for the other side

The mirror polish bevel with the rough flat looks great. (I can say it was worth it, but I'm not the one who spent hours sanding on it.) I look forward to seeing the finished knife.

I present to you:
Multistage stropping station Deluxe 5000-X

Made out of (mainly) rosewood, bronze, steel, leather. 1 strop on each side. Internal compartment to store polishing pastes. It has a lot of weight so it actually might be possible to just lay this on the table and strop away, without holding it - we'll see.

I'll be giving these to two of my friends in a few weeks, I hope they'll like it.

Really nice strops!

After a rather fortuitous turn of events I find myself in need of a fair sized bandsaw. If my calculations are correct, I can get at least 3 sets of handle scales out this…

Nice! Looks more like at least 30 hand sets to me.

I guess I’m not seeing it, what went wrong.

I'm sure you already know this, but I'll say it anyway. It happens to the best of use, learn from your mistake and move on!

Yeah, either a large bandsaw that cuts straight or a table saw. Looks like almost 2" thick, so you can also do the side cuts.

It’s 1.5” thick so I can definitely cut it different directions. My table saw is 7 hours away so I’m going to see if I can find someone with a decent bandsaw nearby.
