I worked on it for four hours. I still have a flat area in the center to grind down to, but it's almost there. It is a major job for a 1/3 HP 1" x 43" sander. I start at the spine and grind edge up, not grinding the very edge but working the whole blade down to it. Once I get the full convex profile from spine to edge, I'll go to finer grits and then finish the edge. I have already worn out one blue zirconia 80 grit on it. If the weather holds, I should finish it tomorrow. You really have to try a full convex to appreciate its chopping superiority. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM009.jpg)

The finished product looks really good. It looks better today. I worked on it from 10:00 until 1:00. I still had some flat spots to sand out. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM003-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM005.jpg) It's getting there. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM006.jpg) After going to 80 micro finishing belt. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM009-1.jpg) Final edge polished with 9 micron belt. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM014-2.jpg) I took it out back for a little chopping test. It chops clean on hard maple. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM018.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM019.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM020.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM026.jpg) It slashes limber stuff well now but the edge is a bit thin. I rolled it some on the maple. No problem, I can fix it in 2 minutes. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM029.jpg) It slices well. I'm done here. [img] http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM028.jpg[/img] [img] http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/FFBM021-1.jpg[/img]
