Homemade micarta for JAB Potbelly

[muradtexas]

I recently got KaBar's JAB Potbelly, and I like the knife a lot. I decided to try and make some scales at home. I wanted the scales to go up all the way to the blade because I like to choke it high on the handle for carving, and I didn't really like that the original scales didn't cover the entire handle. So, with some Bondo resin, cotton fabric, sandpaper and Dremel tool, I made these. I know it's not the neatest job, but it's my first scales. Hope you guys enjoy.

Looks good! Can't tell that just some average Joe made those at home.
