Amboyna Burl chef

[Texasstate]

Amboyna burl in red liners
Sanded to 400
Needs a little more love and Some finish.

looking for a flat or matte finish
Usually use wipe on poly
But I want to try something different

recommendations?

Send it to me and I'll put I nice finish on it

Beautifully done!!

 

[Texasstate]

Thanks
Seriously looking for something a little less intensive than wipe on poly. Don’t get me wrong I DONT think you can’t beat it for a high gloss finish.

But for a matte look. I don’t really want to mess with it

Tru oil is a durable finish. It can be buffed with 0000 steel wool for a more satin/matte finish.
Awesome looking knife by the way. I really like the two tone amboyna.

Really nice. Beautiful use of heartwood/sapwood.

use WOP and steel wool when done. you get Matte- Tru oil is WOP

 

[Texasstate]

WOP??

Wipe On Poly.. use gloss as your base coats and follow w a couple of matte or semi and will look great! Takes less time than Tru oil.

if thats a chef's knife you really want a poly seal to keep ick out of the pores in the wood even stabilized it will have areas where bacteria can congregate and grow.

Does anyone have opinions on pricing this ?

its 13.5 in overall length

 

[Texasstate]

Any help would be appreciated on pricing this knife
I won’t get offended
I know pricing things is very subjective but how much could I get for this ?

 

[phinds]

Be a good idea if you actually showed the knife. Handle is beautiful but knives ARE made to cut things and the handle doesn't do that.

 

[Texasstate]

That’s true
I’ll picture when finished completely
