Thanks Mike.

TBH, I'm not to sure that I like the scales. Lovely wood but my feeling is that it's a little on the thick side and the wedge itself is more of a spacer.

Anyway, let me get them in hand and we'll take it from there.

We have one down the street, however. I shall look next time I am in there!

Sorry, I have been dealing with some other BS lately & I'm playing catch up. Tom, are you referring to the ones I sent you?

That would be them, Steve. Lots of BS going on these days it would seem!

I got them from a place called Fastener Express. Here's a link to directly to those washers:

#0 Flat Washer NAS620 CO 18-8 Stainless

I was looking the other day & found some smaller OD washers for collorless pinning. Of course they would really have a collar but the OD was way smaller & wouldn't be seen. I usually save links to them but I looked & I didn't. I have been looking again for them. As for pinning in Ivory, I have some sterling silver pinning material but it is softer & would work but it might spread inside the Ivory itself so then it made me think of your idea on the rivets or drilling the Ivory out to fit a small insert inside with some CA to hold it which would keep the pin from spreading & cracking or breaking the Ivory.

Brass fasteners/ washers/ nuts/ screws, for posterity, these are the ones offered at my Ace. Having trouble with mine stocking them at the moment.

Can always thin them out easier than build them backup T..repinning is fun, anyway..

Wouldn't say their too thick...
But maybe a bit wide in height, in comparison to the tang. But the color and grain of the wood is awesome looking. JMHO

Hey guys, you might know by now but I just heard from MikeT. Yoo-hoo!!!!!

Hey Bill, he did't go Phtttt after all!

Good to know!
