Re: WESTERN 062 two-blade

I dug my 2 Western folding hunters out. Both have Delrin handles, they have different tang stamps, the one with Boulder Colo. stamp came with the sheath. It is unsharpened and the pile side bolsters are covered with verdigris. :oops: It has 062 on the pile side of the clip. This 062 came in a trade...

I had NO IDEA that CA would come out so beautifully when polished! Add that to the Data Base, and throw out the Beer Shotgun! :lol: When I bought the wood that I have around 12 years ago (at a STEAL of a price) I had no clue that it weighed as much as it does.

Re: Finger Tip & Belt Sanders

So you are saying that water is better for certain handles... I get it! I can see your not wanting to dip some handles into oil... I didn't really think of that as for grinding/sanding, and my previous post but it is a valid point. I was posting more for raw metals. I can't see grinding/sanding any ...

Re: Finger Tip & Belt Sanders

How well can you detect heat through the gloves? A lot of what i do that usually ends up in raw fingertips it working on metals that are heat sensitive, I HAVE to know when that metal is warming up on the sander. That is what has precluded me from using any kind of fingertip protection thus far. Th...

Both of the above posts are absolutely, 100% correct. The closer to the base of the tree the richer it is in Silica. It is also difficult to finish because even under vacuum it is so dense that the pore structure does not absorb solvents. Any finish that you apply will be a surface finish (in very g...
