    Default Bengall Imperial

    This one is for a Bengall collecting buddy of mine in Tasmania. I did a few of these 2 tone scaled ones for him last year but this one's been sitting in the queue for months. It was only in for a re scale but I couldn't help myself & gave the blade a cleanup too.
    Scales are a hard burnished oil finish. Initial sanding to 600 grit then oil was rubbed in with wet n dri 600 - 2000 grit to accelerate the cure time thru friction. Timbers are Purpleheart & Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafrass.

    Brass pins, washers & thrust washers. Wedge is black acrylic.

    Blade is a stiff half hollow 6/8 & is a killa shaver, typical of the make.

    Apologies to the OCD'ers who need symmetry on scales
    And yes, I forgot the before pics

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
