Fine looking work. It's enough just doing the stone work of course.

The blanks I use are good quality and are razor sharp!
I always cut at least 3 slabs of the material that I choose to use because you will break one a lot of the time. It's also hard to get matching slabs so you can make the pattern the same on both sides! My wife says it does not matter but I try and always match them as close as I can.

Dave I just rough the blank and the back of the scale and epoxy them on. I put the knife in a small rubber griped vice to hold them in place. Just put on one side at a time. When I put the scales on they are just roughed in I finish them on the knife.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I am no where in the class of Adrian or Ken but I learn a little everytime!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
