J&W Special in bone
Restored this one keeping it as near to original as possible. Used the original bone scales. Cleaned up the blade trying to keep the etch intact while removing the pitting and returned the original type finish.

That is a lovely piece of work! Good job on saving the etch and the scales look very smooth.

Again, thanks guys. Yes, a bit 'aged " looking but loved over the years. That was my goal.

did you treat the scales to make them look older or is that natural to that set. Some of the bone scales I see are very new looking.

If I lived next door to you, you would have to get a court order to keep me out of your workshop watching over your shoulder. Beautiful work as usual!
