You either need a bigger granite slab, a big piece of glass, a big tile, or something that's big and flat. You try draw filing it but you would a big File.

I would think you could do a cut out section in leather. then when you epoxy them together and clamp, it will fill in the voids of the wood imperfections.

Then just add a few pins to hold it nice and you're done, even gives you some nice soft area for the edge to touch.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try to make one of them work.

There used to be a radio show on NPR called Car Talk, with hosts Ray and Tommy Magliozzi. They had a saying:

"Every project is an opportunity to buy a new tool." <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//cool.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I use a wood surface planer.

Haha! If only the saying came with the budget! I'll try that tonight when I talk to my wife and see how that goes!!

Thanks for the info Joshua!

Another thought is a display holder. I usually give out one of the smaller wood blocks with my kitchen knives.

Does that simply have a groove cut that the blade sits in?
