Those look like they are VERY useful. I think I need some for my clean-up arsenal. Thanks for the heads up Papa.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 4:58 pm Very good thread.

LOL..... not secrets..... just my ideas gleaned from other people.
I'm just glad somebody finds it useful.
Carry on!

Just completed cleaning the Ironwood covers on this knife, Ironwood is a very dense wood and the amount of grime that came out of it was staggering, i can only imagine what must get into softer woods.The original color of the wood has gone, and it has become a lot darker with use, but that happens with all wood scales after time. .

Re: Here is my clean-up methods
Nice!
I like the fact there are no Dremel type tools or buffers shown. I believe the touch and care of a human hand is reflected in the finished product. There are a few people who can work magic with electronic polishing tools, but they have usually done this type of work professionally, and, in the process, many of them lose the passion for it. - John
