    Default My First Attempt....Im Happy

    Only took up straights at Christmas but now I have the bug

    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

    Looks like they all came together nicely. Lovely classic shaped scales too.
