    I get a lot of my scale materials from the pet store or the Co-op like bone, horn and antler. Looks good so far.

    Haven't been to the store for rod yet hopefully this weekend. Here is where I am so far. Got the scales sanded and looking about what I want.

    Need to seal them up and will be good to go.

    Here are the blade mods I did.

    I ground the stabilizers off squared up the toe and added a barber's notch. Still sanding the blade. I am up to 1000 grit on one side and 320 on the other. Looking forward to getting it together.

    Ended up coating the scales with polyurethane as I had it on hand.

    Couldn't have done any of this without all the info found here.

    You did a great Job! I have made scales out of bone before but I did not coat them with anything. Here's a Wade & Butcher with a ship on the blade I finished close to a year ago. It also has a brass wedge.

    Wow what a great job. You sir went thru alot of issues to produce such a wonderful result. The dust, the stench, the pure torture that bone does to tooling. I dig them alot.

    I coated them because I was afraid of finger oils and such staining them. Yours looks great.
