Looks great, Mike. Did you have the bone stabilized?

Thanks guys.
Don,
This one is not stabalized. I have used it both ways and can tell very little difference in the two. I finished this one a couple of weeks ago and then laid it aside for over a week to see if the bone was going to move any. After two weeks of changing weather conditions the scales haven't changed a bit, The pins are still fulsh and the scales are still perfectly flush to the edges of the tang.That is one of the things I like so much about this material, unlike ivory of any type it just doesn't seem to shrink or swell with heat or humidity changes.
