Always a pleasure to view your projects, and great to see some paua shell from our own shores included in there.

Beautiful razor and a cracking job all round. What did you use to carve the handles?

Thanks.
I used diamond burrs , files, X-acto knives , sandpaper etc. there is a " tutorial" in the workshop forum of others I've carved which show the steps and tools.
The others. Just 3 more to go for my set. Then build and carve a box for them.
The barber pole though isn't mine. Just a handy pic with the other 3 in it.Last edited by mycarver; 02-03-2015 at 06:11 PM.

Not sure what the rules are about posting them overseas? !

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics!

Very nice! Now,... If you happen to find 2 that are perfectly flat , about 3/16" thick. 1" wide and 6" long we have to talk.
