Had the day off so I tried some more filing. Its not finished yet but its close. It looks simpler than the first one but it was a bit harder getting all of the cutouts to match.
Question...what do makers use to fill in the gaps after they have filed and secured the handle scales?
Its a black substance of some sort and really makes the pattern pop. Any info would be much appreciated!
Thanks for looking
edit: the more I look at it, the less I am sure I like this pattern. I tried to go for the vine but the thorns are a bit too hard for my skill level at the moment. Let me know what you guys think, my opinion is a bit skewed/harsh, honesty is appreciated

Thanks guys. Got some pointers from my filework mentor 
and found a recent thread with a nice rattlesnake pattern. Think I will go that route.
edit:apparently what i was looking for is 44/40 cold gun blue

Its a snake now!
Still not done yet but its getting there.
Apologies for the cellphone picture, I'll get a better one soon.
Thanks to Alan Davis for the inspiration and TM Hunt for the instruction.
