jake cleland 436 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Just finishing this up for a friend who's a classical violin player. 1095, buffalo horn spacers attached with blind pins, bog oak and poplar burl: let me know what you think... 4 Link to post Share on other sites
billyO 215 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I like it, a sharp looking package. Do the holes in the choil area have a function? Link to post Share on other sites

I was also wondering about the holes and the notches right under them. Or are they just for looks? Link to post Share on other sites

Or are they just for looks? It's Baroque. Typical of the times, masks were worn to costume balls that simply went around the eyes and over the nose. Just a hint of file work at the front of the horn bolsters and along the spine. Goes well with the choil decoration. 7 hours ago, Alan Longmire said: Looks like the Hebridean elves are at it again! +1 Link to post Share on other sites

jake cleland 436 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Today I sharpened the blade and added a copper suspension ring and belt loop to the sheath. The Spanish notch is just a decorative design element. The filework also extends right round the tang, which is tapered in two planes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Chad J. 3 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 That's amazing, I have to ask because I can't see it clearly and I'm so new to this still. Do you epoxy around the file work on the tang or do you use a spacer of some kind to fill it in? Link to post Share on other sites
