Lovely striped scales, Outback! I wish I had a large sheet of this celluloid to make scales for the 7 MK31s.
Talkin'bout Mikes anyone heard something about MikeT whereabouts? Is the dude ok?

Been putting in some time on this celebrated hollow ground I received with crap wooden tang

Needed a little strength and thickness in the middle so I fashioned some brass for the mid tang. Then I sandwiched it in some ivory received from Tom.

Getting there slowly. Still need to shape it more, than scales, proper cleaning etc.
But moving along with big help from Tom on materials:tu
Great work on those scales & restore on the DD Tom!
BTW, I ordered some bullseye collars & washers from AJKenne for my Rodgers restore. Just waiting on postage costs before I order some horn from robsbits in the UK.
@MikeB52 Brilliant work. It is looking like the end is near.
Great work on the tang Mike.
