Got a bunch of cutoff's from Mike at Logs to Lumber on a .308 bullet I put together. Sanded to 1000 then mm'd to 12000. BLO-CA finish. Don't know how many coats I put on, as I was jamming to Rage Against The Machine at the same time. It has atleast 8 but maybe as many as 25. Plastx followed by MeGuiars gold class wax. Also a cocobolo slim I made. Same finishing.
