B barbiere Messages 166 Friday August 4, 2017 #1 Experimenting with inlays and end caps, so I recycle what is available. The first experiment with inlays in camel bone Time now to try the same with MOP. Due to costs I chose the path of recycling older projects The "volunteer" more than happy to participate Might end a bit tight to accommodate the blade but it looks promising To avoid any accusation of sacrilege, this is not restoring but experimenting. Any resemblance with collector items is purely accidental.
