Bamboo WB
My first complete scales. The blade is as it was when I purchased it, a couple of very fine scratches the repair of which I thought might make things worse
.
It started out with very plain beige cellulose scales. Now with bamboo and darker bamboo wedge. Finished in tung oil with nickle silver pins and small brass washers.

I like the idea of the bamboo. Don't think I have seen that yet. How is the balance with the razor since bamboo is pretty light?

Excellent work, the scales ended up really suiting the W&B IMO...

+1 for that comment, +1 for using a real wedge, i like the choice of wood its interesting and looks really good, and is naturally water resistant, Great work Enjoy! Originally Posted by Phrank
