Bengall in black horn and C.V Heljestrand frameback in translucent.(Lots of pictures)

They're not flawless but I think I did pretty good.

On the Bengall I got a bit lasy on the wedge and gave it a flat pice of wood, on the Hejestrand I reused the original lead wedge.
Both pairs of scales were left to soak in oil for a day then dried for three days and polished with autosol.

The blades had some minor rust and some major staining that came off with autosol and elbow grease.Attachment 101365Attachment 101366Attachment 101367Attachment 101368Attachment 101369Attachment 101370Attachment 101371

Not bad at all.

Don't get lazy on the wedge! :)

It's all in the details.

Great start!!! That is a very good beginning. The scales look fantastic!!

Keep on it mate!!
