    That's a nice looking home built. The blade has nice lines, and the shape and colour of the scales really compliment it.

    Looks great! I'm hoping to make my first custom in the near future, if it turns out this well, I'll be pleased.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. I've only been able to pull this off with the information, advice, and encouragement of all the great members of this forum.

    Tom, any time you'd like to drop by the shop or test one out, I'm game!

    How was working with the Osange Orange? I hear it can be a bear to work with.

    Not too bad. It's actually one of my favorites. It has a nice resin content so it finishes really smooth. I made the scales with a bandsaw and a KMG belt grinder, so they went pretty quickly
