my first scales

[sicknote]

hey,

i just finished my first scales. not 100% perfect but for the first time its good imho. the wood is ebony and the pin heads by myself out of 4mm brass where i drilled an 1.5mm hole. i just done it with little bullseye look which only worked on the pins on the erl.
just have a look:

comments and tips are welcome!

Great job. You can polish her up to 2500 and she will shine nicely.

Nice job for your first go. That should work well for you.
