Gotta love the 14's!
Did you dye the wood yourself or get it that way?

Pete <:-}

Dyed them myself. Trans-tint in denatured alcohol so it doesn't raise the grain

Very nice work my friend, very nice indeed! :

Oh yeah...couple of smokin' #14's...beautiful work and great job!

Very nice. The square collars adds some nice character.

GREAT JOB on those!
The beginning to a 7 day set?

Absolutely gorgeous!

There was a thread on the forum recently discussing whether you should criticise or say nothing - so I thought for some time before posting because I don't want to criticise just for the sake of it - but here goes. The washers are just plug ugly to me - I don't see anything redeeming about them, they hurt my eyes and have ruined what is otherwise a perfectly good restore.

Please feel free to comment on my work - if I ever get the courage to display anything in the future.

I don't see anything wrong with what you wrote - don't like the washer's, that's a personal view, and totally cool, nothing wrong with saying that.

And receiving some input from other valued members, different eyes, is never a bad thing, can only spurn other ideas...good on you for sharing your thoughts...in my opinion of course!

I wish those "Plug Ugly" razors were mine,,,,

HAHAHA. It's funny how tastes vary. I thought the scales wouldn't work without the collars. My thought was they brought it together. :-) That is the way it goes.
