Moderator bruce johnson Posted April 24, 2014 Moderator Report Posted April 24, 2014 Use something the same profile as the hole so you don't widen it out. I have got a ton of #1s that have been converted to #4s by sharpening with something too big. I wrap wet dry over a small dowel, nail, etc. I strop on the edge of some firm leather with compound. I strop the top with some package twine that has been rubbed with compound. The biggest thing is to make sure you are not bumping into the opposite edge throughout the process.
