Red Imp in Claro Walnut
Here is a rescale I just finished on a Red Imp using my personal favorite (claro walnut). Please tell me what you think.
Details:
claro walnut scales,
maple/walnut/maple wedge
4 coats poly
2 coats handrubbed beeswax to finish it off
(Finish is a silky satin...pictures don't do the wood justice)
again, this was only a rescale, no blade work done this time

Looks great to me. I wish I could get a better sense of the color of the wood. The pictures turned out a bit washed out. Still The shape of the scales look great. Doesn't hurt that I'm a big fan of the Red Imp's.

It's actually pretty interesting but not bad at all really!
I can definitely see the inspiration off several designs mixed into one.
I would say, job well done!

]Hey guys, I just took two more pictures using a better light source (the sun
) and the colors are much more accurate all around. These pics are basically the same thing with a slight angle change to see the intensity of the grain. Hope this gives a better look

I like what I see, I am trying to see the wedge end better, did you actually use a wedge or is it a spacer?????
Nice shape also...

Love it. The grain is awesome. And it matches your brush well, too!

It is an actual wedge glen, and it was a pain to make! Well worth the effort in the end though.. Originally Posted by gssixgun
