White maple Tenacious finished

#1

Post by nabobz »

Show and tell time. I finally found time to finish the scales on my Ten. The blade isn't centered perfectly but its fine for a user. These are my first custom scales ever. Thanks for looking. :)

I like it!

Thanks for the kind words guys. It took way more hours than I thought it would. These are my practice scales though. I have a couple pieces of walnut that I'm hoping to use for scales now. I really like these too. I may have to buy another Tenacious for the other wood. :)

Great job on those scales. Makes it look a lot different. Can't wait to see the Walnut scales you'll make.
