Thread: Revived birds eye duckie

Been a while since I was able to finish anything with nursing school nipping at my ankles; so here's one I finished for a member here...oh, and stay tuned, I got another one on the way as well, with some pretty cool red g10 scales. This duck was in pretty poor shape when I got it; rust, deep pits, bit of a frown, you name it. Unfortunately I didn't think to get a pic til' after I had soaked it in evapo rust. The scales were shot. So, we decided to go wood, but keep kinda close to an antiqued feel, and the look of the scales; however, okiwen wanted a shape not so traditional, but I didn't want to go as far as I did with the other blade I am working on for him. The scales are birdseye with brass liners and a custom mixed shellac for color, and a CA finish. All brass hardware, and keeping with the duck theme...well, I threw in a paduak wedge finished in true oil for a bit of an old rubber duckie feel ( I'm weird I know, but I've made peace with it). The pics don't do the birdseye justice really; they just pop when the light transitions over it; as well as the grain kinda floating in the background. As always thanks for looking everyone!
