Here is the handle and caps before shaping



Added a back fillet from ivory scrap and shaped the whole thing to my liking



Did a dry fit



A little epoxy and it was done





Made a quick sheath for it to rest in





Now I've got a new sgian dubh for the Christmas season. I left the handle natural on purpose. I just used a bit of neutral wax to bring out the shine of the bayleen. I can hardly wait to wear it next Tuesday to the Scottish (sic)Christmas Concert. O'Neille
