    Yes, very impressive....my thought is how strong are they. Now that you have put so much detail into them.
    But yes, I am very impressed with the detail

    When I first cut them out of the black walnut I had to be kind of careful with them, at least around the letters in the SRP logo, that's when I got the idea to fill in all the open areas with the chrystal clear 2 part epoxy resin. I had used it on "Bubbles" with a little bit of blue tint and it worked great so I thought I would use on these too for strength. Well they are plenty strong now actually a little stronger than celluloid so I'm happy.
    P.S. I will post pictures of "Bubbles" tonight, it's a set of scales I did last week that I was just going to clear coat but went with a blue tinted epoxy resin so now they look like stained glass.

    That looks excellent. How much time did that cost you?

    Very very cool. I'm curious how they are made (i.e. what tools/process do you use to make them)?

    Just amazing. Beautiful work! Can't wait to see them with a blade between them.
