Just to cheap to buy a proper round file, have a chain saw file but does not work good on Brazilian Cherry tip overlays.  I hope that explains it...... :laugh:    Trust me that wood is extremely dense and heavy.  Very close to true ironwood in density.

You can buy a  round carbide tile cutting blade that fits in your hacksaw for less than 5 bucks.  If it can cut through ceramic tile, just think of what it could do to wood  ;)

A tile cutting blade on a hacksaw will cut through horn bone antler micarta just the same. Will need a new blade some time soon; this one has lasted 10 years.
For second step I use a rattail bastard and after that twisted sanding paper.

Well,, then, I use a Nicholson, round, bastard, rasp. It has chewed through every exotic wood and bone inlay I've used it on.
