Only took up straights at Christmas but now I have the bug:D
Bought a couple of "tired" Wade N Butchers off the Bay and went to work on them.
Rosewood with a Purpleheart Wedge & Purple Heart with a Ash Wedge.
First time working with Cyano glue finnish and first time peening.
Also had a good polish up of the blades.
Quite proud of myself and now Ive got to get them honed, I wont be taking on that just yet;)
Very nice. Especially a first go at it. Well done!
pretty impressive i think. Great job
No such thing as a crappy Wade & Butcher :nono: ;)Quote:

Cheers for all the comments, very enjoyable and rewarding project.
Looks like they all came together nicely. Lovely classic shaped scales too.
They look great! Really nice work on shaping the scales.
Looks really good! I would be proud if my first scales turned out that nice. Well they will, already halfway there :)
Your First efforts produced First Rate results! :tu I also like the way you were able to highlight the grain on the rosewood scale. Very nice!Quote:
