littlecanoe Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Swamprat, My dad says that when he was a kid people used to have my grandpa make ax handles, hoe handles etc. He'd whittle them out of hickory and then use that same method to finish. A piece of glass to smooth out everything. He said that they were SOO smooth and didn't need a bit of sand paper. I've got some cabinet scrapers in the assorted shapes and a burnisher. Works about the same way but more expensive for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
