    I'm glad to see that worked out. I was afraid that given the first picture of cut scales you were going to wonder how you wound up with two right hand scales...LOL

    That's happened to a couple knives I was working on a while ago.

    seen lots of Double ducks on here but these are the first WoodDucks i've seen and look forward to seeing the finished product as it comes.

    I do believe I am going the CA route...
    Glen did a rescale on a reaper in wood before. If mine can look 1/2 as good I will be happy

    Push on the inlays with your fingertip, do they give at all ???? if not then you are ready.. You might have to roll them to fit them tight

    Your getting close ! Now slow down and sand some more. :<0) It looks like the very edges are still a little fat to me. Not so much at the bottom. Make the wood match the brass.

    Yes! great work! I needed to look at the bolsters for a bit! Gas it up! Pour the clear to it! I love what you guys are doing with the inlays. They shall be the only existing examples someday.
