Kevin came to us from the Japanese Woodworker forum. I look forward to seeing more expertly done scale work from him in the future. You're an artisan, Kevin.

Unless I am mistaken I think you just said my razor looks like a dog turd
hee hee. I have only seen the "Cotton Bowl Twist" for chewing or smoking. It's actually not too bad.

Seriously, a very unusual and striking effect--well done.

Thanks I appreciate it. Speaking of briar I wanted to rusticate the "cap" ends but was too scared to experiment. I think it'd make a nice effect to use somehow

Thanks Mike. I am happy to report all by hand with home harvested walnut, even had to forge out the pin

Thanks Bob. I didn't spend alot of time on the blade. Maybe if it turns out to be a good shaver I can get the rest of the pits out

Thanks Mike! That's what I like to hear I've rethought what I told Bob and I probably won't refinish the blade further just too lazy

I like the home harvested wood, forged pin, etc...My respect.

I love the hand carved look! I was thinking of doing some hand carving myself on some scales. You have inspired me!!!
