Here is the finished product. The scales are ivory micarta and the engraving was done with hammer and chisel. I plan to make a lot more of these with different designs on them. All one of a kind.

WOW!
Would there be an easier way than hammer and chisel? Maybe electric engraver?
Very nice work.

The hammer and chisel method is the same as used to engrave guns. I can do soft steell with them also, although I prefer to do brass or silver, the softer metals. An electric engraver won't give you near the same results.
Great looking scales
Looks great. Why the new thread?

Very nice! Having zero artistic ability, I find it incredible that you did that by hand.
Beautiful!
Very well done!

Very nice work. I wonder if you can put the scales on a broken Feather RG?
