Thread: Revisor in Cocobolo

I finished up this Revisor in some Cocobolo with an olive wood wedge last night.i particularly like the grain in this set.

The grain does look great, but I also like the shape the you used on these looks nice and looks comfortable great job!!!!!!

Another fine looking job. LOVE IT!!!

It looks much better in person. There is more range in color and hue than in the photo. My little camera does not capture the full range of color.

I have been slowly changing the shape over the past few months. I have thinned out the scale near the hinge pin and put a little more curve in the cut. I think it fit the hand nicely. After all, if it is not comfortable, you won’t use it.

I took the camera outside and snapped another photo in the shade. I had to put the camera in manual mode to force an overexposure by one stop to get a better photo. The grain is still hard to see, guess I make them to shiny, the reflections make it hard to get a photo of.

Does teh cocobolo cause irritation at all with the shave? I think it is related to the poison oak

I bought a piece of cocobolo this weekend and did some sanding on it and wasn't bothered at all by the dust on my skin. The guy at the store did tell me though that it is in the poison oak or ivy family, and to wear a respirator when working with it. BTW, very nice scales Dave.

Very nice looking scales!
