The carving turned out fantastic. I would describe it as "Dragon Scales". It definitely has that "Cool" factor. Well done!

It may be the pics but your wedge looks reverse tapered & too thick which is maybe why you needed to hollow out the scales near the pivot to clear the tang ? Thinner scales will also allow the flex needed for a good fit .
Luckily they're all thick enough to correct without the mistakes of the first attempt being permanent!onimaru55 likes this.
