Schrade 708Y
I just finished this recently. Someone had this 708Y, and wanted to put some new scales on it. I was surprised to find the Swinden construction, but I guess I shouldn't have been...

Re: Schrade 708Y
Yeah, that's Culpepper's Autumn Gold. It gives some nice varied depth when you work it, not so dark that it doesn't carry the natural properties of the bone itself. I always shy'd away from "non-standard" bone colors, but the colors do add something...green, red, yellow, they all look pretty decent once you put them on something.orvet wrote:Nice job Glenn!
