    Default Haywood & Cartledge in Amboyna Burl

    Got this 7/8 " Haywood & Cartledge for a full custom restore by one of our members.
    The blade was with decent pitting, but it buffed almost completely out.
    I made the scales from Amboyna Burls backed with black liners, and pewter wedge.
    I used CA to finish the scales, the pins are nickel silver with SS washers.
    It came out great IMO, and the blade is a beast, the spine is maybe a bit over 1/4" thick.

    Boy, I'll say that turned out nicely. I love to see scales made of Amboyna burl and the black liner adds to it as does the pewter wedge. Just what I'd be looking for in a custom rescale.

    I like the black liners. They add depth to the scales.
    Great work!

    Default Haywood & Cartledge in Amboyna Burl

    Threads like this one confuse me. Should I learn how to shave with them or just learn to restore them. Right now
    neither looks like it on the upward trail!!☹
