Nicely done. The shape of the scales matches the blade very well and the wood has some nice grain to it. Enjoy the shaves with it

Very nice.
Surely have to get out to a flea market once in a while to find one for myself.

.. olive wood is one of my favourite woods,.. I actually brought some pieces from the seaside this summer, it's still drying,. .and it took half of our car's space on our way back
... it's a pain to sand and cut very irritating dust (pretty bareable with inhalation protection )
