    Nice work! Great finish. How did you pin it? Looks good! If I may, a bit bulky for me, esp at the tang. Show us the wedge end!
    Everyone enjoys working with horn. Another fine example!

    I rest my case.

    Thank you. The pins are brass. I will post more pics, ie wedge end, soon. The wedge is black paper micarta. A bit bulky for me too, now that it's done.

    Ahh, that is the way we learn! Easy enough to unpin and sand to your liking! Still very nice!

    The blade is heavy. I think I will leave the scales the way they are. They balance the razor well during the shave. I do prefer linen and canvas micarta and will probably return to those materials for future restores. Maroon linen and olive canvas are the current family favorites.
    Thanks to those who gave input.

    Here is a pic of the wedge end. Sorry for the delay. And the poor quality of the pic. Might be time for a camera upgrade.
    Wedge is black paper micarta. Scales are black with white streak horn. Thanks again for the feedback.
