Hey I'm a junior engineering student. I like to customize my stuff. I rebuilt my guitar and repainted it this past summer. I have done a little bit of work on my Remington 700. I am also in the process of making my first knifes. They are going to be Christmas presents for my Dad and Brother.

Here is before picture of my guitar

And the afters

I didn't make the blades this time because i didn't think i would have time to finish them but here are pictures of both

And for the handles i chose to use a deer antler base for the damascus and buffalo horn scales with bark on the other.

I just got these roughly formed and don't have a picture yet

i still need to pin on the the buffalo scales. I have never done it before so i don't know the best method, thinking about using corbies, good idea? I also still need to make a guard for the damascus and epoxy it. What is a good epoxy? Any tips would be appreciated.

Merry Christmas
Austin
