I wanted to put a little contrast on my new Y. Tanaka from JNS.

I would have guessed you had a nicer stove...
looks great!Hands down my best results to date! Very happy with this one.View attachment 77758
It's the classic Nakayama suita polish, super fine and glossy with dark cladding. I love them. Watch the video in HDthats some pop from that nakayama suita. razzle dazzle!
I know, I was mostly pretty done after 2 hours of sandingIf you have scratches leftover, you need to work the previous grits more.
Thanks for the tip! will drop down and start wit 120/240 grit somewhere next week and really take my timeYea, all my hand sanding is done over multiple days now, usually while half watching a dumb action movie. “The Core” was really good for this. Alternate your strokes from parallel to the spine to perpendicular to the spine as you increase in grit, and don’t move up to the next grit until you can’t see the previous scratches.
And start super low grit if there are deep scratches.
Love this post, thank you!This stone gives some contrast and does not mirror polish. This is a first time for me doing such type of job.
I think your right. It doesn’t seem to be so much of a problem for me on softer stones.
