Bloody Big W&B

well here are the pics
Wood Woody Pear Australian hard wood
Pins Brass
Washers Pop Rivets
Finish Crappy job C A I must be getting the wrong super glue
I just can`t seem to get it right.
Wedge Ivory Wood

The pics don`t do justice to the wood grain
I still have the original scales they are too good to throw,these scales will do till I can make some large MOP ones
I can`t wait till the next one arrives, hopefully it will be a lopper just like this One
Kind regards Peter ;)
PS
Have a good day all:D
PSS
The next two pics show a bit of the grain

Sure looks nice to me!
I can see why every straight shaver needs at least one of these.

the rivets are small stainless, tap the shaft out of rivet and drill with 1/16" drill bit, they have a OD of 3/32" so drill the scale pivot to that dia hole ,tap in the rivet an grind off excess,this creates a collar and washer in one piece, to give added strength to rthe pivot area
Hope this helps
You should be able to get hold of S/S, copper brass and aluminium pop rivets
Kind regards Peter
