NIce job . The new scales do compliment the tang well.
However .... are the old scales for sale ?

Thanks Oz, and old scales aren't for sale. One of the sides broke off just behind the wedge when I was unpinning, but I'm holding on to them as a template.

Awesome! It definitely compliments the tang! The wedge is nicely done! If one didn't know any better it wouldn't look you had one.
What finish did you use on scale if any?
When you said red polishing compound you meant jeweler's rouge no? Thanks

Scales were sanded from 400- to 2000-grit sandpaper, then I carefully used the 2000-grit to smooth out the pins. I finished with my Dremel by using 421 polishing compound on felt wheels. I have no idea how it compares to jeweler's rouge, but here's the product page: Originally Posted by SiRed8

Then I took some Maas to everything at the end.
As far as the pins go, the sandpaper worked pretty well and they have a nice smooth surface now as opposed to the faceted surface I get right after peening. Is that a normal way to get the mirror look or are you guys that darn good at peening? I used my Max razor to compare and his pins are like tiny convex mirrors!
