9 and 10 of 14

Here is the next installment of my two ongoing 7-day sets, Henckels in Bone and Americans in Pearl.
Previous thread is http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...-7-8-14-a.html.

This go round, the pearl set is joined by a Torrey 'whip' logo 6/8 and the Henckels bone set has been enlarged with the addition of a sweet 6/8+ #161 Twinworks, dealt by Charles Langbein of NY and Brooklyn. They turned out pretty nice .
I have also redone a few wedges on the others, more to my liking.

My neighbor, who is a fantastic cabinetmaker, has also finished the next box and fabric with which to line them has been appropriated from the Hobby Lobby. I hope to get the boxes sorted before the next two are completed! This project will end someday. Then, I shall have to hone all these suckers! :eek:

Thanks for looking!

Out of curiosity why are you waiting to hone them?

If I ever take up the life of crime, I know where I am going go to steal razors.

Those razors are Beautiful and Classy!

That just reminds me that I still don't have any MOP scales.

I quite agree! Not honing razors when done is a bit like that crazy fellow that didn't properly pin his razors when they were restored...just moved on to the next one he did! :rofl2:

Beautiful Tom!

Thanks, Pat! Knowing it was going to be a long time finishing them, I decided in the beginning to wait till they were all ready for the stones!

Love the mother of pearl ones :)

Where did you buy the MOP slabs from ? Looking at yours its made me want to handle out a razor in that material but all i can seem to find is thin little bits :(

Seriously nice! :)

The mother of pearl looks amazing, I'll definitely have to bear that in mind for my next rescale.

Thanks! All of these scales are vintage. If you follow the links back to the first thread on them, you can see.
You can search luthier supplies for some mop panels, as well as knifemaker supplies. Finding slabs large enough to make one-piece scale halves might prove difficult. These are riveted to silver liners and are of two panels. Some have 3 or more panels.

Once again another fine installment in the 2x14 sets Thomas. This is fun to see the building of the crescendo when you have two box loads of gorgeous keepers.
Keep it going. Well done!!!

Those look fantastic! I am curious about the cases you are storing them in. What are they an where did you get them? I am using a cigar box from my beloved tabaks right now. But would like something more along the lines of what you have.

The boxes are of Corian. I share a building with a millwork shop and the lead man built them for me. Very heavy at 3 1/2 lbs.
He uses special adhesive which makes all the seams invisible.

Great looking work Tom. Your super high standards of fit and finish are something that the rest of us should all aspire to. I know they'll be honed beautifully too!

I don't know how Tom manages to keep all that together.

The guy's an artist and a HELL of a craftsman with a heart bigger than this state we live in.

However, if Charlie needs any help with his plan, I'M IN!
