    Default New scales for a Friodur

    Got my 7/8 Friodur from John and went to work on the scales. Black/blue G10 with nice adjustable fasteners. I'm well chuffed Sorry, I'm no photographer...

    One more little detail to go; I have some Friodur inlays on the way...

    Thanks,

    Very handsome work, Entropy. I'm almost afraid to rescale a Friodur 'cause they're somewhat known for not having a straight shank. Then you have to mimic the bend on the inside bearing surface of the new scales to have it close right. 'Hat's off to ya on a fine & handsome effort.
