I'm still pretty much a virgin to this forging thing, and although I feel like I'm making some improvements I know I've still got a long way to go. One of the issues that's cropped its head up lately is getting a full tang nice and flat to allow scales to be epoxied on. Looking down the spine it looks fairly flat, but when you stick a piece of wood on the side a slight bow really shows up. I guess I could heat it back up and try to get it flatter, but I'm just wondering if anyone has some hints that might help me with that. I guess I could crank up the grinder and make it flat, but seeing as how I'm posting in the forum I'm trying to avoid that.
