    Default J. Wostenholm & sons *EBRO* faux snake

    A nice hefty J. Wostenholm & sons *EBRO*.

    For the scales I used a faux snake pattern, look and feel which is made of acrylic. Haven't seen anyone use those, yet.
    Blade has some minor remaining residual staining left which I couldn't completely remove but in general this blade rocks. Nice subtle smile and barber's notch.
    Bocote wedge, brass/nickel washers, pins and all that jazz...

    Enjoy.

    Nice Max! Is that snake stuff the textured stuff that smells reeeally bad? I have some and just haven't wanted to touch it because it stinks! Looks like it came out nicer than I'd imagined though!

    You must have an extremely sensitive nose but no not really. It smelled the same as all the other acrylics and plastic I work on. Didn't notice anything worse as usual.
    Dust was less compared to the faux tortoise and many other plastics which was weird. But in general all those plastic materials have kind of a chemical smell to them when you sand and cut them. The plastic dust is the worst imo.
