Use a filler like the horn dust u created while sanding them. Fill the hole with dust, but don't pack it. Then a drop of CA from both sides, sand smooth n buff.
Good as new..!!Mike

I figured it would be something like that. I've been trying to pay attention in here.
Thanks!

That’s really well done. Artistic even.

I have to admit, it is way out of the realm of what i normally do. Im just glad others liked it too. One board placed out of normal made a big and total difference.
It still blows my mind that I DID THiS. The guy who is always picky about everything matching.Last edited by Gasman; 10-05-2018 at 04:58 AM.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Sanded the repairs on MrZ"s last two sets of scales, and put them in hair dye for a couple hours, now the wait as they soak up some oil.

While I'm waiting for the scales in oil, I figured I better get started on one of eight, from MikeT.
I nice little "Never Dull" in ivory. Pinned with collars from the fines catalog, and a inappropriate plastic wedge.
Curious as to why there is two pivot holes in the tang, anyone know why.?
So some lite repairs to the scales (pin holes)
A new wedge.
And collarless pinning, as should be.
Honed n test shave.

I tried the epoxy and dust to fix a couple tiny spots on the sides of some horn scales just the other day. Didnt set up well. Maybe i didnt het the mix right. When i tried to sand it, it was gummy and pulled right off. Today, before work i tried again with some CA and dust. The spots, dents are very small and i made a hell of a mess with the CA, but i got it to stick and fill. Its going to take some serious sanding to clean them back up.
Figured id do the Tom trick and try the sharpie. Hope to get the French blade back together on my next days off.
Nice work on those scales Mike. That one was so chewed up its jard to believe you got it filled.MikeT likes this.It's just Sharpening, right?
