I've been working on this one for a while and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, though the pinning was a chore as the washers sunk into the scales. I need to tighten the pivot again, though I'm not quite sure how as the washers seem to just sink in and don't tighten. I may have to go to an adjustable pivot.
The scales are Padauk finished with Tung Oil and a black horn spacer with an ever-so-slight wedge shape. The nice W&B Wedge survived a 1/8" chip in the blade to become what you see here.
As always, thanks to Maxi for the shop days, guidance, patience and beer.
