Very nice. Fingerstones are really fun and a massive, massive pain in the ass.

Maxim gave me this washi(?) Type paper. It's really thick and coarse, but you strip off a layer like in pic and use that. The layers come off very thin. Don't know what's its called.

Traditionally they used urushi laquer to adhere the paper, but clear nail polish or a 5 minute epoxy thinned with some spirits will work well.

You can also get away with using a really tiny piece and you don't have to back it. Backing the fingerstones is so you can crack them and they bend with the curvature of a katana, while remaining held together.
