J. Allen 6/8 in Amboyna Burl
This took me forever since I just had my 2nd baby. Been working on it in 10 minute increments for who knows how long. This one is Brass lined Amboyna Burl with CA finish and Brass/Amboyna wedge. Blass is mirror polished 6/8 quarter hollow Joseph Allen and Sons NON-XLL.
Here is the blade before:

Great work!
I'm a sucker for the brass/burl combo, and that one sure is a honey.
