    A while back I had made a maple axiom, but left it way to thick. It was kinda ugly so I decided to thin it down a little.
    Before, almost an inch thick.

    After, about 5/8 thick, I left the handle alone.

    It makes a matched set with my Champ.

      It looks like the results rewarded your effort!
      They are gorgeous.
      Did you wear down the thickness with that 150 grit!?

      No, it just happened to be out at the time, I used a belt sander for most of the thinning.

      A very nice example of not being afraid to go back on a piece. Well Done!

      That looks good. I like a beefy handle.
