Green FBU

Today I rescaled this W&B 9/8ths ..

The client wanted green Ox horn scales, copies of the originals with a copper lined wedge.. The blade was already restored.

The scales have a polished edge and a satin center. The satin shows off the pearl like qualities and a depth which is exchanged for flat colours when polished..
The B side scale is white pearl in daylight and green in artificial light..

It was a pleasure to hone this with a Nagura progression..
Thanks

Looks great Joseph. I reckon your client will be one happy camper. :chapeau

Very cool.

Nice work.

I love how you do such great work but just shrug your shoulders and move on to the next one, that is a really nice finish.

If I still lived in the smoke I would be at your door begging for lessons.

Outstanding!

I can dig it.

I think no one would be home but the curtains would twitch ha ha.. The good ones are forgotten but the few mistakes i have made in the early days will always haunt me..My brothers W&B 7/8ths sadly was reduced to a ultra hollow grind and the Joseph Fenton i see every time i close my eyes :)

What a great job. And those Ox horn scales are fantastic as always. I wish I could source some for my self but have not been able to as of yet.

Thanks.. It is rare stuff.

Do a search for guitar repair parts. Sometimes you find what you are looking for in places you wouldn't think to look. I have found horn, specifically blond horn, at guitarpartsandmore.com for a very good price. They also have bone, ivory/ivory substitute and other products you wouldn't expect.
