I have had this 7/8 Fridour for a while, I wanted to put some more fancy scales on it and finally got the chance.
This is my first attempt at backing wood, I used black acrylic and stabilized Redwood Burl. The finish is Renwax, nickel silver pins stainless washers and white acrylic wedge.

Redwood burl is one of my favorites ... and I love burls. Great job!! Awesome scales. If you do another one, try finishing it
in CA and watch the color jump out at you.
