Offering up for sale my 270mm white#1 Fujiyama sujihiki. Purchased in 2013 from Tosho, it has been used a handful of times, and only lightly stropped. It comes with a Konosuke saya, and a white horn ferrule on a ho handle. Very thin, but not whippy, and beautifully finished. I’m out of town...

For drilling into end grain, you may look into bits meant for pen making. Their cutting geometry is specifically designed for clean end grain boring. http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=45150&cat=1,43243

Most I've used have been pretty similar, but Tadatsuna and Yoshihiro were a bit flatter and pointier. I miss those two sometimes.

Interesting to hear about your challenges with shellac (and finishing in general). I teach woodworking, so I'm always curious to hear about peoples' experiences with it. Helps me to see where people are struggling. Shellac dry time can be modified by adjusting the pound cut (lighter cuts will...

What kind of issues did you have? And were you using waxy or dewaxed? Waxy shellac could have issues with adhesion to oily woods.

Looking good! I'd recommend trying shellac for your first few sealing coats. Evaporative finishes like shellac and lacquer typically adhere better to extractive-rich woods than reactive finishes like varnish. The advantage of using shellac for your sealing coat is dry time – minutes at the...

Everything else aside, I definitely want to see a picture of that vintage KS.
