    Default Triple Bolivian Rosewood frenzy

    This week has been a 'back to the still high in demand' wooden scales. It's always a pleasure to work with wood. By now you must know I favor all hard woods like the Rosewood, Cocobolo, Bocote,...

    1 rescale job was a Bengall 6/8 and the second one a Ern 'Crown & Sword'. Both took an incredible sharp edge.

    The third one is a restore I did on an original and genuine bow razor manufactured by W&B. Turned out stellar!

    Had to be careful not losing the etching on the blade and was pretty much succesful. Thank you Wade & Butcher

    Enjoy.

    I just finished two in the Bolivian Rosewood, nice wood to work with,

    I do believe that Bengall catches my personal fancy the most Mad Max

    Nice looking work as always....

    Love the look of that Bengall, the scales especially (I like the shape of the wedge end a lot). Very nice

    No wonder timber scales are ' still high in demand ' when they look like that.

    Lurrve the Bow. The blade engraving is cut nice & deep on those but it's no guarantee of survival thru the resto process.

    Nice Job --- on all three.

    Very nice work Max. I like the cocobola a lot too but the tortoise is my favorite of your work.
