    What razor nut posts? If I get some razor nuts will they grow into razor trees, if so where can I get a Mappin and Webb lancet nut?

    I do recall one post with a PAIR of cannabis leaf scaled razors, you were nuts to buy those

    Whoa Tarkus, Sharptonn just finished these amazing sets and you put him in his grave and talk about some moke from the future getting his grubby mitts on them. Egads man!

That's what makes this so epic. You planted this seed and now it will start a new legacy for these fine instruments.

    Your posts are wonderful to those of us gaining skills. This series is of great news to we who have a shaky time of renewing one razor, let alone one of MOP or Ivory.
    You show it can be done and that alone says we can learn!
    Thank you!

    Wow !!! Wonderful and breathtaking in execution and appearance. You have set the bar high for all who follow after you. I fear to unveil my 7 day set in progress now. You set the bar that high. Corion box you say?? Might have to send you a PM on that one.

    Just plain beautiful work. Humble people with an eye for detail far outweigh rich folk who throw money around and have no skills.
    You Sir have Mad Skills and the eye for detail. Is that why they say "The devil is in the details?" and you have a red box??

    Tom...I wish I could say something representative of this work that hasn't already be said. How about: 'You're my Hero'! This is just stellar work and a testament to your hard headed Texan persistence in creating a concept, and having the vision to collect everything needed to complete this wonderful project. Just Beautiful work my friend!

    Thanks, Richard! TBH, I learned a great deal doing these sets. While I have pinned lots of other bone and pearl, little tricks learned as attempting to duplicate things certainly will come in handy!

    Well, TBH, Darl, At 135 years old I would be lots uglier and even more decrepit. Better end it before then!

    Thanks a lot, Mike! That, coming from a craftsman such as yourself, really means a great deal!
