Made one for me

Thanks Daniel, they are epoxyed. I wanted to etch and tumble the spine the same as the blade so I had to bolt the scales together to shape them then for moisture barrier I glued it too.

Did you have trouble with scratching the bolts while you shaped the handle?
 
Thank you so much Justin. Your reply was a perfect screenshot! I'll give it a try.

What level of finish to you take it to before tumbling? I'm still trying to work out my process, and it isn't going especially well. I use the same media as you, presumably in the same/similar tumbler.

Travis, on this one I took it to a hand sanded 400 grit finish then sand blasted it. I'm not positive on the grit media I blasted it with as I used a buddy's cabinet, I know the sandblast media he has in it is what he using before he cerakotes pistols. Here is a pic of it before I etched it. In the past I have just gone from a 400 grit hand finish straight to etching it but I think the blast finish is a little more even.
