Post by: Lin Rhea on January 30, 2010, 04:07:00 PM: Dan,
I have only used spinners that I made. I hammered these pins with a small ball pien. Stag is pretty tough stuff, so I go ahead and plan on a pretty good head to hold a little inward pressure. The pin size is 1/8, so the head is slightly larger, but not by much. The dips and grooves in the stag always make it an adventure, but I like the look and I believe it to be very durable. Thanks, Lin

Post by: Lin Rhea on February 04, 2010, 10:37:00 AM: Yes James. The scales are two bark Stag slabs together, back to back. They have to be dead flat to make the good joint. Lin
