The Duke as got a new coat?
A few of you may have seen the Duke dressed in a pair of Cocobolo Scales I made a few weeks back, well the Duke somehow didn't look to good in those scales, he's more of a traditional looking chap, so I removed him and gave those scales up to a vintage Kropp I restored, well in all honesty the Kropp looked perfect in those scales, but the poor old Duke still needed a new set of clothes, so I decided on a ancient native wood Welsh Yew, and I went for the more traditional scales which the Duke once owned. I went for a double washer at the back with a single washer at the front kind of gives a nice balance, I also made the wedge from a small off cut of the Yew.
Regards Jamie.

Looking good. I love the colour of that grain, it's fantastic. As an aside, have you thought about tapering your spacers, making them into wedges?

Beautiful work Jamie. Very nice.
Your blades will end up with some sort of multiple personalities if you keep rescaling them mate
Well done.

Wow. Amazing grain . Is that stained or natural ?

The grain is a natural with only a wax or oil finish.
