Hi folks. Here are a few pics of the Baurmann restore in it's current stage. I will post pictures once I am finished.
Kind regards

Looking good so far!
Can't wait to see it finished.

The maple looks good!

Thank you for your kind comments.

+1 to that.
Looks very good.

Baurmann and Sohne is fine quality. This looks quite nice!

Looks good...what are you using for a wedge?

After looking at it a bit closer you might be a bit long on the scales.

Maybe it is an optical illusion????

Thank you for the comments. I'm using a piece of the old scales for the wedge. I should have included it in the pictures. I used the old scales as templates to make the new maple scales.

This is what I am saying.....



Look like quite a bit of distance to the end of the scale.

Either there will be a big wedge or a lot of room between the end of the blade and wedge.

I am not trying to be a downer or anything...just offering advice from what I can see.
Heck it might look GREAT!
You did an awesome job on the scales themselves...I am SURE you can figure this out! :

Hey Chev, all comments welcome. Thanks man! I am going to go back to the shop and trim those scales up to conform more to your pic! Thanks buddy!
