    Default My first set of scales / restore in progress...

    This is my first set of self-made scales, and my first real restore in progress...

    The scales are a two-piece wedgeless design. They're made from bamboo, sanded up to 1500 grit and lightly oiled.
    I'm still not confident in my peening ability, so I used adjustable pins for now.

    The blade is looking much better than when I started, but I think I'm going to do a little more polishing on it before I call it done.

    The first pic is what I started with, the rest are where I'm at....

    Comments and critiques are appreciated.
