Very nice!
I just bought one off ebay, should be here tomorrow. I am going to use it to make one
that is 2 inches longer.
Polishing like that would be a nice finishing touch.

How are you going to keep it from oxidizing?

I guess just periodically apply more metal polish by hand....? once you get the surface smooth and all the scratches out of it, and shiny, it should not take much elbow grease to shine it back up.
