    A 6/8 Spike point W&B Hollow grind in Spalted Apple scales (cutouts by request) with NiAg hardware, the wedge is Brown Ebony...... Just couldn't quite get all the pitting out on the hollow grind.....

    Good job Glen.
    A little pitting is easier to live with than 'the plink of death' from too much steel removal.
    Love the scales & finish - oil ? - but not sure about the cutouts so much.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    Looks great, Glen - the scales are wonderfully unique...and don't worry about the pitting - I'm working on a W&B with the same problem...just look at it this way, it's a 100 years old, and a few "wrinkles" add character!
