Here is the final surface prep of the frame. The birdseye maple is prone to tearout so I smoothed it with a card scraper.
A couple comparison shots of the birdseye maple, before and after scraping.
You can see how the tool marks and tearout have been smoothed down.
That leaves a mirror like surface for the finish.
Next time, the oil goes on the walnut burl.
