Well thats what im calling it. Its when you mix a colouring into the epoxy and allow it to fill in the voids of the filework on the tang. Makes it look like the tang spine is floating?
Not a great photo and Im still working on the shaping. Its very nicely molding to my fingers at the mo so not much more to go. Looks a little weird but feels comfy.
I mixed black ink in with the epoxy and then glued the scales on addin extra epoxy in the filework. Then just sanded it all back
