Romulus and Remus

A couple of twin W&B that I completed in Girraffe Bone. Both are 7/8. one in Ni Silver pins and one in Brass.

Very nice looking, :tu I like them both but the darker one just does a bit more for me :nj

which? the blue or brown?

All they got Glen was micro mesh all the way up and then 3 coats of Ren wax. They had that shine before the wax though. Turned out nice except I wish my pin jobs looked half as nice as your's!!! Now they need to go off to you for honing!! :cry: I am no where near able to hone these like you can!

Nice work, Paul! Somewhere there is a Giraffe with a short leg! Kidding! They look super!

Those are some nice choppers Paul, great work!! I also really like the look of that dark grain giraffe bone.

Giraffe bone. Very cool. Bone is almost as varied as wood--and these are unusually rich. Nice scales indeed.

I like bone because of its character and it is a great resource. Nice job, the look very nice.

Thanks! It's hard to find big pieces of stabilized G-Bone to use though. It is really nice stuff to work with.

Those are so nice. Most here probably know of my love for W&Bs, so those just speak to me. And you did a great job with them.

Nice job my friend.
Very smart sending them by way of Glen. If they found their way about 300 miles west, only one would arrive back home. :D

Wow! Those scales are lovely, they look fantastic! Who'd have thought giraffe bone would have been so colourful? :tu

Thanks Stu. They were colored in stabilization. I love the way they hold the color though. Very organic and unpredictable!

Very very nice, beautiful wood on the scales, and i love the naming of them as well :)

Edit: I just looked at the pics and didn't read the description, that's not wood.. even better, twice as impressed now!
