Thread: Fixed up Wade and Butcher.

I grabbed this W&B in a lot off of Ebay for a steal. The horn scales were snapped on one side, so I got to build another set.

I used some Zebra and ascetate (wedge) that I had laying around.
Wood was finished with 8 coats of Tung oil.

I recreated the origonal scale shape and just made it look better.

I used brass pins, and stacked SS washers.

I made a few mistakes, the blade had a slight warp so I had to pin it using some of glens' suggestions from other threads.

Also, if you're wondering what that white stuff is that appears to be embedded in the scales, it's turtle wax. I tried to make them shinier
which turned out to be a terrible idea. Now I can't get it out. Oh well, it's just for me anyways!

Enough talking, on with the pictures (before and after).

As always, feedback is welcome. I like hearing everyones'
perception of my work.

Thanks for looking!
