    Default Frederick Reynolds - Modified Full Custom in Molten Gold Turquoise

    Another new acrylic color coming off the bench tonight, I really tried to capture this in the pics, it truly looks like a chunk of Turquoise dipped in Melted Gold...
    I used a Electric Blue acrylic wedge and Tri-metal pins and washer on the wedge and pivot ends.. The center pin in Nickel Silver also holding together the Bejeweled Stars and Center post in brass...

    The 13/16 Faux Frameback blade was "Modded" out with a larger thumb notch and the original barber's notch was opened up and sharpened up into a wicked Spanish point... The finish is near perfect mirror on the blade with some very small blems on the tang...

    This pic is the closest I could get to the real colors...

    Glen,

    Those are really nice looking, unique scales on that blade. A work of art.

    Glen, you make acrylic damn sexy. I like the contrast between the gold and the bright blue... it took a few looks, but its awfully pretty stuff.

    Thats great looking work Glen, as always!

    The Spanish point looks awesome and it really suits the framback look of the blade.

    Thats a truly stunning set of scales, the acrylic, the wedge, that third pin, very stylish. The blade aint to shabby either.

    Fantastic work,as always.For me personally,I wish the turquoise were more uniformly distributed through the gold.Or be just the gold without it.Guess I'm a bit OCD with uniformity.Nice job either way.
