Thread: Matching up scale halves

Thank You Martin and Darl! I am getting down to the busting ivory part!

Got my blades pretty much done. The tangs are still pretty rough. At least the rust and some of the pitting is gone. I might sand them a bit more before installing them.





I checked my old wedges with a caliper and sure enough, no taper. GOOD! I suck at making tapered wedges!
So I flat sanded my ivory ones to the same thickness as the old ones and mocked one up. Closed center.
So far, so good!





A detail I forgot is to have a friend lazer etch Roman numerals I and II on the spine reliefs. Has to be done, IMO, so I will pin the bottoms as mocked-up and wait for him to accomplish that in order to pin the tops.
Neat top jimping on these!
