I'm sending Brass and Silver Nickel Rod directly to Charlies.

Austin (ajkenne) has offered to send a collection of his work directly to Charlies--N/C.

I plan on bringing some bone blanks, some acrylic blanks and some stabilized wood.

While not related to making scales, once gain there will be homemade cinnamon rolls and biscuits by our friend Carolyn

Hope you all attending the Texas Meeting can put these to good use. Kindest Regards, Austin

Those look sweet. Do you make them?

I may try to barter a pair of bone from you to finish a blade.

Thats a fine Donation Austin. I wish I would be there to enjoy it. But I know the guys will be very happy to have them.

If someone more experienced wants to try their hand at regrinding a ROUGH blade, let me know. I was going to make a hobby knife out of it, but maybe someone can make it look decent again. I had planned to replace it, but since the maker is do obscure it would nice if someone could try to save it.
By obscure, I mean Zak said he had never heard of them!!
Tang says "John Askham Broadlaneworks"
Someone took a grinder or other power tool to it and made a mess.
And no, it wasn't me.

Just a thought.

As you can see, you really can't make it look any worse.

Wow! That is a real shame. I dont think id want to try that without a real belt grinder.

Yeah, that was why I thought the Texas Meet might be a good place to do it since all the tools will be there.
The grinder/dremel marks are way too deep to sand out.
