    The blade is being sharpened by a colleague to "scary" status, so hopefully within a week I should have the 3 married together (body/handles/blade), next thing will be to ensure the sole is dead set flat, then the hardest part of all, learning how to use it properly.....yikes!!


    a mate has also just put in an order in for his no.4-1/2 and his no.7, so, Lee Valley here I come.

    I thinkni have a standout winner winner and that's BLO. Just 1 coat makes a load of difference. Here's a test piece pic.

    The BLO is on the left, the straight wax on the right. BLO really make the silky oak pop. Will see how she looks after 3 coats and some 4/0 steel wool.
    Interested to see how these handles turned out with linseed oil. The caution is always that linseed oil can darken wood dramaticly. Either instantly, or over time with exposure to light.

    Not always a bad thing, so long as it is not a surprise.
