I made a set of Cocobolo Scales and then gave them 3 coats of super glue as a finish before epoxying them to the blade. Once I trim down the pins, I will give them one more coat of super glue.

I apply the super glue with my finger tip. You have to move fast and keep moving or you and the wood become one.

It has taken some time but I have been on vacation since the 19th. I started the knife on New years day and so farm I estimate that I have about 30 hours into the knife. I just attached the scales today. Will have pics when finished.

RGK,
You can also use those little papers that you wipe glasses with to spread the super glue and it won't stick to those.

Nice project!

I learned a little trick from a guy who turns pens. He uses a dab of BLO (burnt linseed oil) and a drop or two of superglue. Then using a latex glove just use the fingertip and rub it in good. Works great for me so far.

Amazing!!! I haven't slept since yesterday, waiting for more pics!!! Hurry the anticipation's killing me.

I finished the knife last night and took some pictures but struggled with the lighting. The gun bluing does not photograph well.

This was a real challenge and one I don't see me tackling again any time soon but it's good to have it in the bag of tricks.
