    Default W&B Elite project

    This had worm eatin black horn scales with a nice design inpressed. To far gone to save. So copy the design onto acrylic, engrave and gold fill. Presto reproduction scales. That is the easy part, now to save the etching on the blade while cleaning it up.

    Did not go to far with this one. Wanted to save the etching, so it still has some minor pits and stains.

    Nicely done! How do you go about doing an etching like that with the gold inlay? It really does look like an original set of scales. I'm quite impressed!
