Scales - Mahogany
Wedge - Obeeche
Pinning - Brass
Extra - Mother of Pearl, Aluminium & Brass Inlay

This one was a long time coming, finally had some time to finishing pinning it. The inlay is slightly off on one side and although it closes without touching the scales it is slightly skewed I played with this a long time before i decided it will not center perfectly, sigh. Also sorry for the smudge marks the picture is post oil so there are some thumb prints.

The next one however is on the way with a much more interesting inlay, I have much higher hopes for.

That inlay is really nice. I like that very simple, yet elegant design. More people should have some inlays like that imo. Well done!

Gorgeous!

What did you use/where did you get your pins?

Thanks for the comments the pinning is brass, washers from microfastners and the rod from a local hobbie shop in stand that looks like this

I really enjoy your scales! Nice classic lines and the inlay is sweet! Awesome!

Don't you just love those old Kropp blades?
