Thread: Thomas W.Ward in horn

It's been a while since last time I posted anything in here, for two reasons:

1-Haven't really done anything special enough to show.

2- My belt sander caught on fire while making some scales a few months ago. Interesting experience, caught a strange scent, but didn't give it much thought since I was working with horn (we all now how that smells ) and kept going, suddenly I was surrounded by smoke flowing out from the motor, needless to say it didn't work after that.


Haven't come around to get a new sander yet, so these are made by Dremel and hand sanding.

Thomas W.Ward & Co. aprox 13/16, half hollow.

Since I haven't got a grinder I left a few marks to keep the lines and geometry.

Scales and wedge made of horn, brass pins and stacked washers.


Before:




After:






Tight fit:



What you see around the middle of the wedge is a reflection of my reflector, not an imperfection


Thanks for looking.

Hmm, getting little red X's for the pictures.

Looks great! The blade turned out nicely, and I like the shape of the scales.

Very Nice! A different look, yet goes together so well.

hmm, works now. That is a real looker!

Awesome job!!

Love those scales!
Beautiful work!

Beautiful job on those scales - after you hand sanded them, did you use a wax polish on them?

I polish on the buffer either with white rouge or Autosol.

Looks very nice I like the scale shape matching the french point
