tedp, those birch scales look great! :thumbup: Did you make them yourself?
I have some stabilized redwood burl which i am putting on mine for handles. Here's a pic:
i plan to use 3 mosaic pins and attach it permanently, along with a 1/4" ss lanyard tube at the rear.
these are 7/32" pins in copper and nickel silver, so i will be reaming the 3/16" holes out a bit anyway. Just couldn't find a 3/16" mosaic pin that i really liked. I'm waiting for the burl scales to adjust to my dry climate before using them (even though they are stabilized, they've already lost over 1 gram of water weight since getting here about 2 weeks ago from the pacific nw). Can't wait to get started though!!!
nice
