    Default Wade & Butcher 8/8 rescale in Ebony and blood wood insppired by cannonfodder

    To start out I would like to thank cannonfodder for his post of a similar rescale. I copied his ebony and blood wood desigh. Cannonfodder's rescale can be found here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/galle...w-b-wedge.html I am not trying to improve on his work. I picked up this blade w/ really bad scales and searched the gallery for someone's work that I thought would look good with the blade and this is what CarrieM and I though would go best. What do they say is the greatest form of flattery?

    I would not suggest this as a first project. I don't have all of the tools that would make this restore easier but I did the best I could with what I had on hand. The only purchase needed for the project was the wood. Everything else I had on hand from other restores. I originally wanted to use the original washers from the old scales but it wasn't going to work out.

    Hope you like the results.
