I have to remake another scale as that happened not happy as you can imagine.
Looking good. I find bleached bone to be brittle, and I prefer to work with raw bone, and lightly bleach it after it has been shaped and polished. It’s nice to get favour returned. I’m sure your friend will be happy with your work.
How did you go about removing the material for the inlay and what did you use to attach it?
Its quite hard to get hold of bone in the UK, or should I say Im struggling they guy I get from usually has no stock and he has not replied to my email when or if he will get more in, (granted it was only yesterday I messaged him)Quote:

I used a Dremel with router attached and made a jig to cut out that exact size.
Its something Ive been wanting to try for awhile now.
PM me your email and I can send you some pics of the set up.
