Here are some before and after pic's of a Camillus Pruning knife that I redone for my wife for gardening. I replaced the steel liners with brass liners and added red cocoboa scales.

Also here are a couple of pictures of a Imperial Barlow that I redid before starting on the pruning knife. On the Barlow I made brass liners for it and nickle silver bolsters. The scales are black ink cocoboa. I didn't take any before pic's of the Barlow.

Wow, those are real nice. The wood really makes them pop. The wife should be proud to use that pruner.

Great work!

Thanks fella's. I'm definitely hooked on the customizing. I'm working on upgrading from my 1 x 30 delta belt sander to a 2 x 72 grinder in box. I just got the grinder kit, I hope to have it together by early next year. I'm just going to buy parts for it as I can afford them. Next step is buying the hardware, then the wheels.
