Another DDR2




Here is another DDR2 that I recently finished. This one was a custom order which was a new challenge. I used the stainless bolsters that came with the kit this time. I dovetailed, polished and jeweled them. The liners are also polished and jeweled. The scales are from a piece of wood that I found that I believe is walnut. I laser etched the zebra wood backspine as requested. This was something new and I think that it came out really well. I filled the etched area with superglue to seal it and keep it from collecting dirt. Superglue is a great filler for checks, cracks and holes in woods. It cures clear and can be worked down easily.
