My 2rd attempt at a resto

[MisterClean]

This blade only needed a minor clean up. So I decided to try my hand at bone scales, mistake!
You guys make this look so easy! My first mistake was buying 1/16" pinning rod from the
hardware store. It was hard as nails but it was all I had to work with, as a result, the pins look awful.
I will redo them later. Another lesson learned, I know what I'm not going to do, next time I'm
cutting, shaping and polishing bone. The next set of bone scales I do will be a little less time consuming.
This has been an real eye opener for me. Hats off to you guys who make works off art out of these materials.
