Default Buckeye Burl and Chakte Viga

The type of wood scales on my latest knives. This is the first time I've used the Viga. I understand it's used for inlays and musical instruments. It machined and took hand sanding well.
Hope you like these .
I purchased a smaller wheel for my grinder so I can get a tighter radius for the blade/scale intersection.

The top photo is the burl and the bottom is the viga.
