I just attempted a my first restore and scale replacement on a W&B I thought would look good in black or white. I have had it for over two years until I got the nerve to give it a go. It was a square point and had a 1/8" chip in the front and 1/16" chip on the edge so that was the first thing to be corrected. I wanted Ivory but could not find any vintage one's so I gave up and settled on camel and giraffe. I have gained a admiration for these two. They have a very nice look in my opinion.
Cut out my design and as you can see made some changes.
I remember reading many comment that bone can be brittle. I wanted a thin wedge that was more tapered so I decided to put a small bow in the scales in order to accommodate this.
Picked out some brass hardware.
Now all I had to do is dress her up!
