Thread: Cocobolo and Blackwood Brush and Razor Set

As a pen maker I get a lot of scrap material; usually about a 2" x 3/4" piece. Since I throw away nearly nothing I was looking to make something with my growing stock.
I glued up 4 pieces of Bacote with hotel room key segments as a transition. Added African Blackwood to the top and bottom then drilled out a 7/8" hole and inlayed American Holly as a backdrop for the monogram. Finished in multi-coats of CA.
The razor is a similar setup. This one is for a colleague.
Thanks for viewing.

Looks fantastic, and just so you know, my last Vacation I came home with 8 room keys because of you!

Amazing! Hotel room keys? We need to see some pics along the way next time! Most excellent!

Really nice grain and section work. Like the script as well. Well done.

That is a gorgeous set.

Im such a noob with woodworking.

I see something like this and im blown away.

Let me know if you ever run short; I could tile the bathroom with my supply.

Here all it was doing was leaving them at the front desk, Tc

That's a beautiful combination of materials with a fantastic contrast. Motel room keys!!!...Whoda thunk??
I'd like to see some straight razor scales made the same way.
Outstanding work !
