    Nice job, and a lot nicer than my first set of scales. I hope to see more of your work.

    Yes! I now see what all the fuss is about. It's a great material to work.

    Thanks for all the kind words. I've gotten my hands on some camel bone that I'm hoping to match to a Wade and Butcher hollow as my next project.

    Very nice! Looks like professional work to me. I've made some scales but haven't gotten around to practicing my repinning so I can use them without micro fasteners. Baby probably doesn't want to listen to it anyway!

    Freehand the scales or use a template? Look nice with that blade.

    You mentioned working on your system. Find anything that helped improve your pinning?

    If you want to use something else for the wedge let me know. It looks great, but you mentioned expecting more contrast. I probably have a small piece of honey horn or G10/micarta you could use.
