Well this is the second one i have attempted and took some advice and made the scales rounded on the ends and the sides, and as far as im concerned they turned out awesome, i mean just look how that spacer blends in! I thought it was near perfect considering it was my second one ever even attempted, and first rounded first try.

Well i got the end pin in no problemo... Started pinning the pivot and get one side done, we are cookin with fire!!

Go to do the other side and BOOM! scale splits... I done kicked my vacuum, said things that would make a old salty sailor blush, and sat down and re considered some life choices....

Well i figured i would go ahead and share. Not quite all polished up but looks like im gonna have to re-do her anywho. But i made a trip to woodcraft and got all sorts of new wood to try, so maybe next time ill have better luck... Needless to say any pinning tips would be helpful!
