Looks good, I'm glad you liked the bamboo. I'm working with it for the first time this week.
Enjoy your visit with family.

Do you just buff the bamboo with Carnauba, or is there any other step ? Shellac, etc.

Multiple days? Have you found that letting the Danish oil set for so long improves your results? I ask because I notice impressive results after just an hour or so.

Very nice! The only thing I think that would make it better is if the ebonite ring between the stummel and bamboo was a little thicker. Just MHO, but it is so thin that it is really easy to overlook. Of course if that was your objective you accomplished it nicely.

She is a looker that's for sure!

Thanks.. And yes that was the objective..funny thing is that the spacer comes off pretty good on the US forums... On the German forums its just the opposite...the say it would look better without the spacer....man,I can't please anybody...

Enjoy your Sundays boys....and girls
