A Bunch of Firsts

I just finished up a skinner for a client. This was 100 percent custom, he provided pictures and I turned it into hardware.

This was the first time I worked with G10, It was not bad at all to work with. It was the first time I used screws instead of pins. I used 6-32 flat heads. This was the first time I did this type of jimping. I will be using it a lot more, it is plain but very functional.

It is the first time I used glazed veg tanned leather. I love the stuff.

I have a link here to a face book post, thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thanks for looking and happy holidays

Very nice! I hope you wore a respirator when working the G-10. The dust from that stuff is very, very bad to breathe ...
