...but with a little someting different. This is one I just finished up that includes the new backspine. This one was not meant to be decorated, so in order to 'break it up' a bit, I tried the heat coloring on the bolsters and the backspine with a small torch.
Characteristic bevels (just wait till you guys get into this!
), and my now-usual lock treatment (Kelly's idea). Also you'll notice on this and the carbon version my careful chamfering of the screw bores. On the bolsters it REALLY gives it a great finished look. All in all it has a lot of coloring and is SOLID with the backspine. I gave the edges of the spine just a touch of a chamfer to give it some distinction before I decided to color them. It looked too 'wide' before.
I'm getting familiar on these standard GX6's!!!
