    Default Wade and Butcher in Rosewood????

    Finally finished my butcher!

    Scales are some type of rosewood with a CA finish that I got from Brooksie. Wedge is yellow acetate.

    Pins are brass with stacked SS.

    Now if I could only get the damn thing shaving a little better!!! It's taking FOREVER to hone!!

    Comments always welcome!

    Nice and unusual design, well done

    It might just be the angle of the pics fooling me, but it looks like the wedge is more a spacer than a wedge?

    It's the angle of the photo.
    Although, it's not a very big angle, but it's enough to spread the scales.

    Looking closer at the 4th pic I can see the bow in the scales

    It doesn't need to be big to get the job done

    The CA finish looks like glass in person! Feels like it too! Nice job buddy!
