@SorenCicchini 5 лет назад

I just use a flame to carefully burn off the varnish. This also dries the wood so it will absorb more boiled linseed oil, which I rub in with steel wool. Note that when the varnish was applied, it will have penetrated deeper into any exposed pores, so there is an extra reservoir of varnish in these areas that will burn longer (like a candle) and deeper into the wood if you let it. On ring-porous woods like ash, these pores correspond with the growth rings, so if you rub back the wood before oiling it, you can achieve a nice contrast between the charred pores and the naturally coloured wood, as the Japanese practice of Yakisugi does with cypress.

@0num4 8 лет назад

I only have a few woodworking tools and a very simple, fiberglass-handled axe, but I still appreciate all of the tips and tricks on this channel. Thanks for doing what you do; I hope you can keep going for as long as you have the desire!

@DanMooreNCF 8 лет назад

Cody, when I was in blacksmith/bladesmith school our instructors simply torched the handles to burn off the varnish. It worked in just a minute or less and the toasted handle actually had a nice raised grain finish that weathered in very well over time. Not sure what your opinion would be of having a handle blackened like these were but it worked very well and left a very usable handle. As a new student, with new tools I was not exactly in love with it at first but now it's my preferred method.

@shaneanderson1229 8 лет назад

I just did an axe handle tonight, but I don't have a spoke shave. I improvised by taking about a foot of steel pallet banding and filing a chisel edge in the center of it. it worked really well as the flexible banding allows you to form it around the curves and peel a large area. only downer is it's really soft steel so I had to touch up the edge twice during the process.

@EgaoKage 4 года назад

If you don't mind a darkened handle, use a propane torch. It takes a little practice, to not let the handle surface get charred spots.. But this will lift off the varnish/polyurethane, toughen up the handle's surface, and prep it to soak up BLO faster than it otherwise might.

@theone2-three438 4 года назад

love the way you get the varnish off with the knife! although you dull you knife a bit. keep em coming!

@doglikereflexes5484 7 лет назад

A properly sharpened card scraper is sharpened to a 90 degree angle then has a burr rolled over on the edge then is pulled at a 45 degree angle to the wood. This gives you the very fine removal of material like the knife method you use with the ability to bend the scraper to remove material evenly on inside and outside curves, by far the best, quickest and easiest way to remove the varnish if you choose to do so. They also do not generally come factory sharpened from the manufacturer.

Excellent tutorial and an eye-opener to me to see a knife used as a scraper like this. I really like the way the wood fibres are cleanly severed rather than roughed up. The knife itself is stunning - I'd not come across Deering before. Looks like the Woodchuck model perhaps. Bone scales?

I know it would be a pain to do but I have wanted to meet you guys for over 5 years , it will happen someday... please remember to have a blessed day :)
