Wow, is that a single piece? Or do you do both sides of the scales together? Your work is amazingly detailed it reminds me of the movement on a fine Swiss watch. What kind of blade is going to be matched with this art? It's hard to imagine a blade worthy of such fine scales.

JoeD sent me a W&B Masonic blade that will be going into these scales.
oh, btw... here's an update for the end of the week
the drilled holes you see on the reverse side are the starter holes for cutting out those sections of the scales.poppy926 likes this.

Here's a look at the first scales almost finished.
I've still got to do some engraving on it to finish out the detail work, but the cutting is all finished on this half....WooHoo!!

Wow, you must have nerves of steel to do such intricate work. Honestly I don't have the sight to even attempt such work but if I did my hands would be shaking like a mouse during a thunderstorm by the time I made the second cut. You are without peer in the metal scales field.
