Just now got motivated to continue on the project, since last I have fittied a nickel silver guard to it, I finally gave up on finding 1/16th micarta and went with 1/8" red and black with nickel silver spacers. I was going to use turquoise, but decided that green wavy malachite would look best. I still plan on using the fossil walrus ivory, red,silver,black and a 1/4" nickel silver cap. Which I plan to dome and flute and add a 1/4" domed fluted ball I made with a drill press and file for the finish. If some one will email how to post a pic (in english) I will. But I will have them available for any who wants to see it. rdjamieson@aol.com
