Frederick Reynolds in Mahogany
Tung oil with a horn wedge and copper washers. My fist try at a satin finish.

Looks awesome! I'm glad to not be the only guy using Tung oil on his scales. What made you decide to drop the back pin just for the aesthetics? I dig it.

Razor rich, but money poor. I should have diversified into Eschers!

Great looking razor. I really dig the variations in the wood.

Yeah, I've seen it a lot and thought I'd give it a try with the scales being slightly longer at the bottom. It would be a better effect if there were more of a point to them.

Nice job! It is a beauty of a blade and well complimented by those scales. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing it with all of us.

That, my friend, is some pretty sexy mahogany! Well done. Just out of curiosity, what made you go with copper washers?

I use Minwax Tung Oil with great results as well. Minwax Tung is pretty similar to HF Tung oil I think. It's super easy to apply and you'll love how the natural beauty of the wood is brought out. It will darken the wood somewhat though. I don't apply as many coats though as the OP nor do I seal the scales afterwards. I would really like to try resin or superglue as a finish for scales soon!
