New scales I just finished!

Just finished a new set of scales, first time I've ever used superglue...time consuming, but worth it! Gaboon ebony lined with yellow wood

Man! Those are CLASSIC! Great job! What's going in them????

They look great. Could you get a close-up of the finish? I'm curious how you came out there.

I haven't made scales in a long time, and I never see two-wood scales so I was testing the waters with this one on a relatively mediocre blade, a wostenholm 5/8". I'll have a close-up and the blade in it shortly...

Still have to finish polishing up the blade and pin it in. Almost there!

PS sorry, my camera refuses to do clear closeups. I put it on manual, cannot get clear pics. Have to do auto, and from a couple feet away. If you're curious, the finish is glossy shiny with a little dot the size of a pin point in the finish here and there. Didn't want to bother doing a dozen coats, only 4

In the archives here you will find not only Dark/Light lined scales but some really interesting Top to bottom, and sometimes top/middle/bottom inside outside double wood scales..

You should look through here when you have time... There are some amazing things hidden away on SRP

Is there a link you could send me to the archives, or do I just have to search through the threads? I'd love to see what others have done with wood scales

Here is just the very first one I found there are many many more back there
