Thread: Getting better at this

A few weeks back I posted a DD in pearl acrylic that I was unhappy with. The scales just didn't look right. This time, I think I'm getting the hang of it. This is my first time using micarta, ivory paper, in this case. I discovered just how HARD epoxy can be. Thinning out 1/4"+ takes some serious time when you're using a jointer. probably boogered up my blades while I was at it.

The blade showed signs of gold wash, and I did a little hunting around to have that re-done. I'm a trumpet player and like my mouthpieces gold plated. The guy who does that for me washed the tang for me for a song....
