Thread: Latest restoration- John Barber with mammoth ivoryIve

I've recently completed this project, John Barber with nickel silver linings and mammoth Ivory scales.
i like the clean lines that the Ivory gives.

You've achieved a sympathetic restoration that incorporates a contemporary aesthetic; I like it a lot.

John Barber would be proud. Nice very nice.

In the center of your scales is a very narrow divider. I can't help but wonder how that is held in place. It is a very intriguing design and build. I am impressed. It all comes together very nicely.

Very nicely done Scotsman.

It looks as though the scales are attached to liners - so the divider is probably a piece of NiAg or similar. When I've used this method I superglued the divider in position before attaching the material to the liners and butting them up also with superglue.
