8/8 Wm. Gregory in horn and stone...
Well, here ya'll go...my second rescale. Translucent horn with a recon stone wedge. Ran into some problems with the 'drilling of holes' portion of the test...I promise I wasn't drunk when I drilling the wedge-side hole lol, the drill bit jumped off my punched mark just as I applied pressure to the bit

Just looks like a little delamination. Could probably sand it smooth if you wanna unpin it.
Otherwise nice'n'shiny & neat fitting of the wedge.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Thanked: 317Beautiful scales, and nice touch on the wedge. I'm 50/50 on polishing out that chip; you could go either way.
On the other hand, you should be ashamed of yourself for owning a Canon. lol

Thanked: 74Just add another pin on the wedge end. Make up for the one that is a little low by adding one that is a little high. Looks like you will have enough room.
Just my two cents.....
