Thread: Dubl Duck in Claro Walnut

I picked this Dubl Duck Special No 1 up from the local antique store. It had a pretty deep patina as well as a chip out of the tip of the blade from closing into the scales. The scales had seen better days also, so I was excited to get down to work on it.






I pulled the blade out of the scales and began cleaning it up. This is when I noticed a small hairline fracture in the blade running edge to spine. I immediately stopped sanding the blade, and decided to tumble the blade to give it whatever amount of shiny it was going to pick up. There is still a lot of pitting in the blade, but I can live with it.



I had some claro walnut kicking around, so I thought this would be a good place to use it. I kept the inlay from the old scales (that is tricky) and coated them with many layers of CA. Black canvas micarta wedge and simple brass pins complete the scales.







Learned a lot about how to use CA on this little project. I don't think I will rush off and start another project right away, but I do have some purple heart that has been just begging to be used for a while now.....

mind reposting the pics.. can't see them

I don't know what happened, but I believe these are his images.













Hmmm, now his pictures showed up in the original post. I don't know why.

Those images do not work when referenced from a web page. You can look at them if you paste their addresses into the address bar of your browser.

To reference pictures from picasa web albums, one has to use the "link to this photo" feature (with some manual editing of the links).

This has happened a couple of times to me before, how do you guys normally add images to a post? Upload as an attachment? Link to somewhere else on the web (other than Picasa)? The links work for me in Chrome, Firefox and IE.

Alright that is super wierd, if I edit the post and cancel the edit, the images show up. If I reload the page, little red x's. What the????

Here is the link to the Picasa Album

Cool razor... nice looking Duck

Not bad at all I would say!

Find the link that ends in .jpg and wrap the [img] tags around it (or click the image icon here and paste the link in there). Like this:
