    It is not a perfect match, but it comes close. I made a back half of a broken set. Getting the stain to match the patina is a little tricky, but a fun challenge.

    And I'll thank the different forum communities for the constant inspiration they provide :-) most of the work I've grown to realize was inspired by great ressources shared and work done elsewhere

I was seriously messed up. I kept dying they told me. I woke up while they were wiring my jaw back together, and saw nothing but wires and hemostats in my face!!!

    I'm telling you, I thought I died and Hell Raiser was happening to me!!!!

    Sheared a piece about 1in long off from the scale end at an angle. I believe I can fix it, he opted to take me up on making new, repairing the originals and sending them back also.
