Thread: 8/8 suminagashi razor in shokwood scales

I don't like working it as much as I like kirinite, because it creates very fine dust that gets everywhere. Aside from mounting forced air exhaust in the near future, and dust collection, I am also thinking about an extra bandsaw in the shed outdoors to saw that kind of stuff outside.

In any case, this is the end result:
