I like your eye for detail, Glen. It would be so easy in the process to forget about making the scales to allow for the Filly etch in the blade to be completely above the top scale line. You obviously were mindful of making sure the finished scales FEATURE the etch in a great way. Nice. Great color in that wood.

Bewdy Mate ! The exceptional fitting accentuates the great looks of this baybay.

I use that a lot I have realized, I trace the top and bottome arcs from the old scales and work outward from there, using a solid base then free handing the rest...
