Hi,
I tried on the tote I have made for my plane, that the grain direction follow the horn, so the long fibers counter the splitting tendancy. See attached pictures.I have also notice in Paul’s video, he made the horn quite thick and bulky, and quite short. I guess that minimise the tendancy to split.
Best,

After some use, what’s your feedback on the washita stone?

I have also found a lot of old chisels are bellied. And I also found flattening with sand paper to flat surface can end with a rounded edge. I therefore came with this solution: I grind with coarse paper on a flat surface only the portion that is bellied (not up to the chisel edge), thus purposely creating a hollow. Then when I flatten the chisel back on the stone, it will hit on the edge and at the back.
You want the chisel edge flat enough that you can easily and properly remove the burr on the stone.
That’s my 2 cents if it helps,16 January 2020 at 5:41 pm #645148That’s a really nice oilstone box there Rafael.
How did you finish it, and what kind of stone is it, if I may ask ?
I find oil finish not so good as I tend to leave black finger print on the box afterward. I tried shellac which was better.Cheers
