W&B Chopper w/ Spalted Myrtle
This little project was murder. It was almost pointless to try and save it, but it shaves now. There is pitting that I just couldn't get rid of. Scales are finished in CA, pinned with brass and a micarta spacer. It's a bit blade heavy but easy to shave with and is in my rotation at the moment.

Beautiful. I would think it's going to be blade heavy regardless.

I always love the spalted wood as well. Fungus always seems to amaze me with how it effects our lives

Man...you could stick any blade in those scales and I'd be drooling. That is the most beautiful spalted maple I've ever seen.

That's a crack'a'lackin razor.
You make some damn fine looking scales.
I'm sure we all identify with the pitting dilemma. You don't see it when it's doing it's job tho.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
