My latest restoration - SK2. This is my favorite one from Saito family. Although the original scales could have been rescued (I keep them for future just by case) but I decided to dress it in scales from plum tree (roots in fact) from my garden.
O wow, you must be passionate about SK2, but why having some many (although they may differ due to different makers). I have had all of them SK1-2-3 but I have sold some and at the moment possess only 1 and 2. But 3 will come sooner or later. That's it. SK2 is my favourite due to most appropriate size for me.
