Thread: Wade & Butcher with walnut/pearwood

That is really beautiful work. The scales and blade go very well together.

Well, you have to cut 4 planks of wood, 2 dark, 2 lighter. Than glue them together, with a sheet of neewspaper between each plank. Use here simply woodglue. After that cut with an electrical jigsaw your scales. Than cut the woods there, where you plan to glue the two different colored woods togheter. Use here a jigsaw blade as thin, as possible and a very slow cutting speed.
Now you have two pieces of wood, each with 4 layers. Now you can seperate with a razor blade (not straight) or an thin, sharp knife the two dark wood blanks from the 2 light. The only thing you must do now is to glue the darker wood on the lighter. Use a strong epoxy with a long harden time (12 hours).

i know im not understanding something right....

You have the right idea, sort of.
There should be enough for 2 sets of scales minimum.

It may not be Buddel's exact process, but see my how-to here:

Picture 1 - 3 is right. But I only cutted 1 scale pair. Dont stack them together like it shown in pic 4. This would be to thick to make a very fine cut with the saw. To cut 4 blanks with one time is difficult enough. For the cut at the Gotta I neede more than 1 hour with the best saw blades I could find.
Picture 5 is o.k. Picture 6 would be to separate the darker from the lighter wood. Not seperate all blanks. Then glue it together like in pic. 6. The glue has more space "to work", if you dont glue every blank seperatelly.

like that?

thats it

Cool, I frecvently experience the same things with some of my close friends. In Norway we call this " Vardøgr "
The vardøger or vardøgr is a spirit predecessor, from Norwegian folklore. Stories typically include instances that are nearly déjà vu in substance, but in reverse, where a spirit with the subject's footsteps, voice, scent, or appearance and overall demeanor precedes them in a location or activity, resulting in witnesses believing they've seen or heard the actual person, before the person physically arrives. This bears a subtle difference from a doppelgänger, with a less sinister connotation. It has been likened to being a phantom double, or form of bilocation.
The word vardøger is a Norwegian term defined as "a premonitory sound or sight of a person before he arrives.
