Nice work HD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What is the best way, when doing a full convex, to find flat spots?
Thanks.

Thanks. Look down the blade. They show up dull and and dark. They are left over from the flat saber grind. I mark them with a sharpie and by the time I grind the marks away, the blade is ready for a finer grit.

Nice job Vic. You should be Blowing INFI powder out of your nose for a few days now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The wind shifted and I put a bandana over my nose, but it was 95F today with high humidity, so I had to take it off. Lot of nose blowing out INFI dust. Then the sweat from my face would fall on the blade and leave spots. But I had to finish the job. Now this really is the last full convex Busse I'm doing! It took me two years to work up to the big job, but I am happy with the results.

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.
I think that's common with a fresh full convex, edge always starts a little thin but gets thicker as you sharpen it. It looks really good, great job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> And whatever happened to Boots SOD? I never saw the final product. I want to see what my stripped tan SOD will looks like one day.
