Gentlemens: Here are a couple of pictures of some of Mr. Hurst's work on barrels. His own barrels I might add. Looks like the cobbler's children finally get shoes... The first is fresh from the bluing process and the other being polished before bluing.   Glenn

I like that!
What grit did you take the first set to?

Aye Sir, 'tis indeed the Baker.
Brent, the barrels were taken to 600 and then burnished back with ultra fine ScotchBrite.

Hi Glenn
Beautiful work by Ken and you.
When you say burnished back does the scotchbrite pad actually make it smoother (finer scratches) or is it coarser then the 600 grit. Just wondering.
Thanks, Jeff G.

Thanks for posting those pictures Mr. Glenn. I was hoping you would so the guys could see the quality of your work. I am particularly pleased with the satin finish as it doesn't hide the engraving -- in the past, the bluing tended to hide the scratching ( done by other bluers).
Thanks guys for the nice words --- it's a God given talent. Ken
