    Default Wosty in Buffalo translucent First rescale

    So it took some time, but I finally got my first restore scales and all done. It was certainly a learning experience to say the least. A big thanks to Max, and Brad, and Eric for all there help with this rescale. My camera took a crap so I only have this P and S shot, when I get my camera back i will put in new pics.
    Buffalo translucent , or Honey Ox ( i dont remember) and a black horn Wedge. Stacked washers of Brass, and Stainless, and Nickel pins.

    All in all Im very pleased with the outcome, there are certainly some imperfections with it but this is a very addicting hobby, so I look forward to making my next set

    You did a great job. I like the shape of the scales. The whole package looks very clean and crisp and classy.

    Nice job on the pins, and the shape of the scales works great with that blade.
    Congrats!

    Nice material & classic shape
