This was my first work with acrylic,learned alot. The blade was cleaned in my new tumbler due to the etching. The scale material wad from the scale shop. Came with basic shape. It took alot of hand sanding to get it right.

Very nicely done! I was wondering about the Scale Shop scales. If someone is doing everything by hand I can see the appeal of purchasing the scales just cut but if you have a scroll saw or band saw available it's cheaper to cut your own. A coping saw or belt sander ban also get you there. The real work is in the finishing and you did a great job on the scales and blade!
Nice job! :tu
That looks great! I dont usually like see through scales (just personal preference really!), but I really like those ones. They look awesome!
Top job ! Nice choice of scales. :)
Too pretty. Great turn out!
Did mean to make them see through, but when I took the white backing off....voila.....next time I will coat the inside with something black (not sure what)
Very nice job! Love the work and the blade is really nice.
Very nice, great choice of material too.
Very nicely done :)
