Oh wow you're still hand filing. Belt grinder is a lot more challenging, but youll be so happy to have one. Polish looks pretty good on that one.

I used mostly stabilized wood, or stuff like ironwood and ebony that was very well seasoned. You probably need to use well seasoned wood that has good dimensional stability. I heard something like a mix of beeswax, mineral oil, and turpentine or something like that was a good finishing oil.
