Really like the desert ironwood.<br />Just have to say how amazing these planes work also.<br />Was using my K7 to square up a small block of wood for a pattern.It made it so easy to take another thou or so right where you need it even on end grain.<br />Really cool to see the two posts and to be able to see were you took the K7 to from the XSNo. 4<br /><br />Cheers ChrisChris Bamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11779854773960697921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-11215881318604263912012-10-18T10:18:12.956-05:002012-10-18T10:18:12.956-05:00

I will not use 360 brass because I do not like the green cast to the color and it does not pien well and is prone to chipping and cracking. C220 works beautifully and develops a wonderful patina similar to gunmetal which is what traditionally used. Naval brass is a bit different. It is not as yellow as 360 brass, works like C220 and is not green when it ages. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-2396120172509736002012-10-17T22:06:43.414-05:002012-10-17T22:06:43.414-05:00It's true that the difference between the bras...It's true that the difference between the brass and bronze is very subtle - I usually can't see the difference at all. I've often wondered what type of bronze you use and your reasons for choosing it over brass.Kevin Brehonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036860598894953939noreply@blogger.com
