Keep us updated.

2 session sanding complete, ready for drilling and peening of pins.

Looking good, I’m excited to see that wood with finish on it. Are you going to use an oil like Tung or linseed or a paste wax of some sort? Any stain or natural?

It's shaping up beautifully.

Assembly and peening is done and final sanding is next. These pics are against a bamboo cutting board, so the wood isn't really jumping out like it does in your hand. I will probably finish the wood in mineral oil, followed a few days later with mink oil paste for full water proofing.

Niiiiiiiiice!!

Beautiful!!

Looks good!

time with the sander is over. deciding on finish, stain or straight mineral oil (maybe I'll stain a piece of scrap cherry to see). then mink oil paste to waterproof it.

Looks great, but I'm one who likes a darker wood.
Can't wait to see it finished, however you do it.
