Thread: W&B Black Horn straight up resto

This blade came in sans scales. It was in nice shape so it didn't take much to get it looking good.
I happen to have some original FBU style scales in my collection so I used them to duplicate a set of scales in Black Horn matching the varying thickness over their length, the overall shape as well as the radius of the surface.
Next was the beloved W&B triple stack washers and pins. I did what I could to duplicate these as well not wanting to settle on the typical stack some washers and call it done routine. I tend to think they came out pretty close. I have sets of originals on hand and you can see the comparison in the photos.
I also had an original wedge to use so in it went.
Hey, I'm happy with the reflection of my lamp in the scales as it shows little distortion. Doesn't take much to make my day.
