I immediately thought that the wedge seems to mirror the spine work!
Excellent work, Grant. A huge improvement. You have come far with your skills.
I can't make scales. I admire those that can!

Very well done. I like the lines and feel of the first set of scales. The second set is beautiful.

AWESOME WORK! But tell me, did you get that Kropp from SRP member earcutter? He really likes his blades with "patina."

Nice job mate. Much less chunky
