    Default a day of Greaves resacale work ..

    have had a lot going on lately to spend the time I really wanted to but I am happy with the results ..

    wanted to go as close to the original scale as possible , pretty close other then about 1-2/16" of an inch shorter and a tad bit by the tail end .. but all in all I will take it for being my first set of horn that I made .. sure beats working with G10 ..lol !!

    AFTER

    Nice work gooser ! It does not get any better than a good pair of Greaves with new shoes.

    Nice work. Pleased to see you've retained both character and patina. I bet they're great to shave with!
