    Default Wacker Re-scale in Violet / Midnight acrylic

    This is a nice Wacker that Kevin sent to me for honing and to tighten the scales... Once I got to looking at the scales though, I found a few extra problems that needed a bit more work then just a few taps... Kevin decided since I would be taking them off anyway to just leave them off and to re-scale it...
    I had just received this color acrylic blank, so we decided to try it out on the Wacker...
    It is actually Violet with Midnight swirls it looks like the universe in there when the light hits is right... I tried some new settings on the camera I think I captured the sparkle a bit better then I have in the past...I added a faux Ivory wedge and a 3rd pin, all the hardware is pure brass and I used a square center pin post looks, a little different in there...
    I haven't been doing the balance shots because I thought people were bored with them, but I just got the little chrome anvil so I went for it again

    Hope you like it Kevin...

    Great work as always Glen!

    Those scales are fantastic and they really set the blade off well. Great job!

    Your usual stellar work Glen! Nice job on the pics also. I'm sure it even looks better in person. It's very hard to capture glitter in the scales, I know, but you did a great job!

    I love those scales.......that thing "pops" and "sparkles" all over the place and I'm sure Kevin will be even more pleased when it reaches his hands. Great work as always Glen.
