I just finished this Dovo. It was suffering from cell rot so the original scales had to be replaced. This was my first attempt at transfering inlays and I am happy with the way it turned out. Honed up very nicely and mowed down three days growth last night.
Time for a new project, or three [emoji6]

Only six? I'd probably still have the darn things attached to me.About 6 if you count the time I glued two of my fingers together. Used a thick gel type CA glue to give me an extra second off two to reposition the inlays. Used acetone to melt the inlays out of the original scales, that is also a very messy job. It was however worth it in the end.

Lol. I got lucky. Its far worse when Im doing CA finishes on wood scales. I dread CA finishes!Only six? I'd probably still have the darn things attached to me.
I think when I get my blade done, I'm sending it to you to scale.Thanks Bob, you be carful now [emoji12]
Rough shaped some scales on the belt sander then took a pair and hand sanded, then buffed, then fitted a wedge, then pinned/peened, then cleaned it up a bit and now its sitting waiting to be honed.
Two more to go before I tackle a Rodgers that someone took a grinder to. . . (not me)
