Title: File work?
Post by: Bobby Urban on February 22, 2011, 07:13:00 AM

Can you all add some photos of file work you have done on blades. Or if someone is better at the search than I can you bring back old threads dealing with this subject - thank you

One of my favorites is the vine pattern and I put it on most of my blades.  (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/th_100_0318.jpg) (http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/?action=view¤t=100_0318.jpg)

The vine pattern seems to prevail.

Steve, I can see why that pattern prevails! They all look beautiful. Danna, at first I didn't even notice the file work due to the mirror finish on the blade itself. All I could see was the wood grain of the table and thought WOW that looks AWESOME!
