    Default 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!

    I was looking at a bamboo serving tray only the other day thinking "how many sets of scales I could get out of it" as it was about 3mm (1/8") thick LOL
