David: Another beautiful job- this one's a LOOKER

I took some ideas from Kevin Robinson regarding making the bolsters longer, adding the thumb ramp and the transitions from the bolsters to the scales.......all worked beautifully. The bronze/gold bolsters matched real well with the giraffe bone scales.....kinda cool.

Thanks for your interest.

Great work David.
Did you dove tail the bolsters?

Nice P-SARK dude!

That job was around $150 and he supplied the giraffe bone. As you can see Kevin, I took your suggestions on making the bolsters longer and adding the thumb ramp. Even though not really functionally needed (otherwise the factory ones would have a ramp)it does add the appearance. It only has a slight dovetail, however, I think I would add more of it to giraffe bone so that it wont have a tendency to curl on the edges.....the dovetail would eliminate that.

Either way....this one came out great.....no gaps...very continuous and classy.
