Crown and sword worked back in cocobolo

I just finished this one for a SRP member. The blade was in good shape so I just gave it a light sand and then the buffing wheels. The scales are Cocobolo with a Bacote wedge. Cocobolo is particularly difficult to work with, specifically the finish. The dark wood highlights any imperfection in the epoxy resin finish. I actually made 3 sets and this is the only one that meets my QC standards.

Those spots are rain, it is sprinkling outside. I think it turned out nice. Now I have to finish the other 3 for him.

I love how they reflect the toilet paper. Very nice set of scales.

I love the look of that razor!!! Great job again.

Nice job! Very beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.

Paper towel, but TP is amazingly soft and does do a good job for a final buff.

Just noticed that I mistyped sword in the thread title.:o

Gotcha covered on that mistyped title. PM or email me, or catch me in chat, if you have questions or problems. Thanks!

Gorgeous looking razor, Dave.

I'm currently drooling.

I honed it up last night along with some others and gave it a shave test this morning. Nice, I may have to look for one to add to my collection.

Looks pretty sweet to me. I hope I don't inspire jealousy by professing ownership to this work!

Original is the 3rd one down in the photo in this thread:

David, I am very jealous. Apparently though these ERN's are cursed and perhaps you should give it to me for safe keeping? :P

Loving the spine.

Damn, ive just realised. This is my second look at this and Im still loving it.

That razor is beautiful!! Excellent job all around, I would be very pleased to own a razor like that.

So would I, now I have another razor to put on my wish list.
