    Long tails seem to be in fashion these days. I like the idea of modeling them in composite wood first.

    This should turn out to be a fine looking razor. Will be nice to see the finished item.

    I like to do mock ups like this to see how it feels in your hand,I do the same thing when I'm designing a new knife model,start out with a picture in your mind,sketch it out,transfer your sketch to wood and see if it's what you want or if it needs a little tweaking.

    Is a very good model, without going a little overboard, I like it. Tc

    Before you go farther, try stropping it. The curve and thickness of the tang may make it a challenge.
