It's really hard to pick up any odor from these. Maybe just the slightest hint of bakelite..

Plain old yellow celluloid, IMO
Many formulas existed from maker-to-maker. Batch-to-batch. Lots of variables there?Last edited by sharptonn; 10-11-2016 at 02:35 AM.

Made new ones, still far from I had in mind of but somewhat closer. I tried to inlay the shields as well the best i could and it could have been better. A monogram will have to wait until I perfect the skills.

And this is my first attempt with kirinite, again, a French inspired style.

Where did you get the scrolls for the Kirinite? I think your skills are progressing and soon you will be able to satisfy your toughest critic, you. I find your work very inspiring.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

I never even thought to grind out the stabilizer. Honestly it wasn't a problem. I'm so used to honing with the stabilizer and shoulders off the stone.. Shes all sharp now but i guess i could fix up the heel a bit at some point.
