Camco Barlow restoration

I haven't been online as much as usual as I have been getting knives ready for the OKCA show next month.
I am trying to build up some inventory of restored and customized knives for the show, but I will put them in my AAPK store if I get time to give AAPK members first chance at them.
I have a bunch more knives on my bench that I am starting on including at least one fixed blade, made from a Helle blank.
This was a standard Camco Barlow that had been used. (and I forgot pics again)
I had this bone that I had not used before and was not sure I would like the results, but when I got it on the knife I liked it more than I thought I would.
For some reason the bone seems to give it clean lines, or at least to my eye.
What do y'all think?

You have been busy! Three very nice restorations you have posted. I think I like the Barlow the best: I agree that it has clean lines.

Very nice Dale. The color and the jigging really catch the eye!

I like that bone jig! I have a piece or 2 like that, I'll be sad when it is gone.
It looks great, Dale!

I bought several sets not realizing that the dye was only on the surface.
When it arrived and I saw the color was not all the way through the bone I was disappointed.
This is the first time I have used this bone on a knife and I am delighted with the results.
I am sure I will be doing more with it.

The only factory Barlow's I've seen all had those Delrin covers, which don't attract my eyes. The customs I've seen here with bone, antler, and ivory ( mammoth ) makes for a very pretty knife, I gotta have one some day.
