Not a silly question at all matevery cool. What is the process used to describe them as hammered walnut scales? Sorry for a silly question, I know scales are cut and sanded to shape. maybe tapped into place with a hammer. Just curious.

Thanks for clarifying that. Nice.Not a silly question at all mateI was giving the pins a hammered texture with a ballpein hammer. Then i just gently hammered the scales as well to see what would happen. The picture doesn't show it well, but it gave the scales a nice rustic "orange peel" effect.
