Took two tries to cut the scales - lesson #???: Cut a little larger and sand down to size. And it took about 5 tries to get the wedge... that lesson is: Keep breathing, drink more booze. :D
This is a C-mon in Blue/Black G10 with a blue acrylic wedge. I wanted to do all nickel pins and washers... but settled on brass pin and nickel washer. This is another restoration for Kevin, and I might have to hold it ransom. :mace:
Nice looking scales. very linear and classic looking with a twist. Nice work.
Paul I like the looks, very clean and classy
Pics are a bit blurry. Time for a new camera or stop drinking for 5 minutes so your hands stop shaking, lol.
Seriously, great work.
And NO, you cannot keep it!!
Although with work like this I may have a few other things for you to do.
I can't wait to get my hands on them so I will be seeing you sometime this week :)

Turned out well.
Is the wedge the same 1/8 thickness as the scales?
The wedge is two 1/16" thick pieces of acrylic, so, yes it's 1/8". I tried a smaller wedge but the thickness of the tang/stabilizers wouldn't let it lie right. G10 has very little flex to it, so getting the wedge right was tough.Quote:
