BK2 stripped

My BK2 in process. I've been researching a ton on what to do. I stripped the paint then wet sanded with 300, 400, 600, 1000 and 1500. After all that work I really don't want to force a patina. I will either force a patina under the scales or possibly undercoat with bedliner spray. I've also read of someone packing it with grease. I may attempt to whittle scales for it.

these guys have all stabilised woods which are solid as synthetic materials. But WAY nicer looking. They'll also cut any block into scales for free if you want.

I've got some blocks from them Great service.
