Micarta engraved scales

Here is the start of a set of micarta engraved scales I am making. This I am doing using a small chasing hammer and tiny chisel, and was done the same way as gun engraving used to be done, before the power tools came into being.The hammer and chisel I used, I made also. The hammer head is made frome a piece of brass and the chisel is made from a piece of HSS drill stock. I made a set of them.

The scales look great, I really like your approach to tools. I look forward to your post.

Well, the scales will look sweet, but, I gotta say... That set of tools is NIIIICE.. I really love the way the head of tiny hammer looks :D Nice'un

This is just cool all the way around. Keep us updated!

Very fine work my good man. I actually have a dovo micarta that i would like to have rescaled, maybe you are the man for this job? :)

That's very neat. Good work so far.

Those look great!

They'd be a sweet set of scales to any razor. Awesome job..!

They are far from finished. I will post them when they are done. The scrolls are not perfect yet and need more detail.
