marshes&shephard in curly maple

A restore I just completed with custom scales (it's too bad I can't keep it!)

It is a very nice Marshes & Shephard stub tail half-wedge in curly maple with an ivory wedge. The maple is a sight to see - it looks 3D in person!

That maple does look great. Do you mind sharing how you finished it to get that level of chatoyance?

Chatoyance? What?

Looks great btw!

Well the wood was stabilized to begin with, and I just sanded it to 320 grit, 8 coats of CA, with the final sanding at 400 grit. Then buffed with white jewelers roush.

Those are sweet "Glow in the Dark" scales you got there.

Had to look it up - it's the "shimmer" in the wood: Chatoyance
