    Default Finished second 7 day set "a study in horn" with this w&b 1" blade

    So this is my second 7 day set: a study in horn... they mostly ended up looking similar but I learned alot about thinning material... I stole one from my previous 7 day set and replaced it with an acrylic scale razor so it matches that whole set... I love the randomness of horn and it's pretty soft to cut and easy to polish.... Definitely my scale material of choice from here on out! Crazy to think I just started this journey of learning to rescale this month ...

    Wade and butcher 1" okay I'm lying it's 0.977 inches.. once again started way late in the night and done with all hand tools (dremel being only power tool) so as not to piss off my neighbors... black acrylic wedge, NiAg liners and hardware.. this is by far the most care I took in making scales.. making sure everything was correct..

    Steps: coping saw--> hand file to shape--> Drill pin holes--> dremel to bevel edges --> up the sanding ladder--> hand shaped wedge with dremel dipping the wedge in water to keep heat down then added NiAg liners superglued on--> finish pinning--> polish... No centering issues with this one thank god!

    below is the rest of this 7 day set(not in this order in pics):

    1. Wade and Butcher 1" in honey horn and NiAg liners and hardware black acrylic liner
    2. Wade and butcher 13/16 celebrated in black horn and MOP kirinite wedge
    3. Wade and butcher celebrated fine india steel black horn and translucent blue wedge
    4. Federick hall 3/4 celebrated in honey horn and NiAg liners and hardware black acrylic liner

    6. Wostenholm IXL celebrated 15/16 in honey horn brass hardware and white acrylic wedge
    7. Wostenholm pipe razor 5/8 in honey horn and white acrylic wedge

    Yup cvs has them in black blue and clear... U may have to go to a couple cvs pharmacies to find them... I had to go to two to find two of them and I work for cvs.. Maybe office max has them too ... Got the inspiration as I was walking out the door at the end of my shift getting ready to go to a cigar shop to buy an empty cigar box...
