Thread: W&B Dreadnought in the making

Found this diamond in the rough for next to nothing. Had a split in toe that had to go. Couldn't ask for a better location. So I started working on another little project.


Unpinned it and cracked the scales the rest of the way. No worries, Ive got something better planned in black horn bark.


Finished the rough grinding and shaping of the new toe. The crack in the blade toe had to go. Now it has the beginnings of a nice new dreadnought tip.


Hit it with 2000 grit wet to dry to see what was under the gunk and grim. To my surprise no rust, no pits no chips. Just a few spots that should sand out.
That is, until I dropped the d@@n thing on the concrete floor of the garage and put one he!! of a split in the heal.




Project is now deader than a door nail. My first Mission Failure.
Oh well, on to the next one.
