Yeah.................he can sand the scratches out of it & maybe get rid of what little stabilizer is showing. Almost like a ghost stabilizer!

So give up some pics of how the anchor is coming, MikeT.

Any scale progress, Outback?

Thanks Tom............I was actually thinking of one of the Clark & Hall blades. Too bad the scales were trashed. I don't have any straight vintage horn scales or some curved ones I could make a set of straight ones from but I'll come up with something. I have a box of blades but those are my oldest & favorite ones. I also have some blades I had a guy regrind for me last year but I think I previously mentioned I haven't heard from him the last few months. I got a funny feeing hs's in jail or something.

Yep. I got them cut, but still need sanded and evened out.
Got a little side tracked tonight,
doing a little scavenger hunt on the railroad tracks.
3 mile hike, heres the results.Attachment 210197Attachment 210198Attachment 210199Attachment 210200Attachment 210201
But i did find one I could carry back. 20" long.

Now to find someone to cut it into 4" pieces.
I know someone who might like a piece. [emoji6]

Here's where im at with the scales
And the type of wood is , purple hartAttachment 210203

Aaand, I've decided to replace my crappy boar brush knot, with a badger knot.
Don't know what size or anything, but for $11.00 (found at amish hardware store) who cares.
So I bought two.
Removed the boar knot, cleaned the handle, checked fit, will glue in tomorrow, need a shower and shave something fierce.

Don't you have that honey horn? Maybe I remember wrong. I've got some nice scale materials.. always willing to help. Clark & Halls are great blades. Wish I still had mine. Will be great to see you do something with those!

I couldn't do anything today, a bit upset about that. Tomorrow is my big project day. I'll see what I can do.
Unless unruly obligations hinder my efforts..

Oh man Mike! You've been busy. Dang dude!
I'm eyeballing that rail... Hehehe :D

Mike, you could cut that into 3 sections & sell them.

Nice, Outback! I expect to see those thinned-out and beveled properly upon the 'morrow! (or soon!)
Get it on, my man!
Dragging a 20 footer must have been a pain!
