Quite the mix. Bone Wood, Acrylic, Brass. Then Double pinned wedge. Going all out.
Love the stabilized burl blend.
Well done.
How’s the weight with the brass liner?
Excellent work
The brass is only 0.010 but it was almost needed to give the wood the flexibility it needed with out it it was going to crack.Quote:

Like I said, nice work.
I Used to make stuff in my own alumilite blends a few years back when I had more free time.

Hope to get back into a few still on the workbench next year when my auto project is behind me.
Oh I dunno, Mike.
You have certainly done your share!

The acrylic mostly on the tips of the scales is a cool effect.
:HJ
I still have some of that stock material too, turned out really well, that one was lined I believe.
Happy she’s holding up Tom.
:tu
I love the wood scales with the blue ends a really excellent idea :bow
Very nice work. It is quite the mix but it looks good. What were the original scales? That crack looks like the type of crack you see a lot with ivory.
I think the original scales are indeed Ivory. The opposite side is also cracked in the same spot and missing everything in front of the pivot point.Quote:
