This is the first of two projcets I am doing for a member of SRP.
Yellow heart with bloodwood insets, brass pins and domed washers on the bloodwood spacer, ajustable pivot pin with domed washer. I cleaned up and reused the original brass busing.

Nice and simple while having a sense of elegance.

Nice work

Nice work, particularily the insets. Any chance of a how-to on that?

I'm ex-Army myself and I'd love to get a blade like that. Who's the manufacturer?

Nice work! I love the spacer... provides a nice contrast.

The razor was manufactured by the Torrey Razor Co.
As to the how to do that part. The scales are laser cut, then the letters are laser cut and glued in the the scales.
Thank you
Tim

Tim is a magician with wood...His work is unbelievably beautiful and he is a pain in the rear about getting the projects done right, to the point of scrapping it and starting all over again. You can't judge his work from the pics, holding it in your hands you will see how good it is.

Does someone do the laser cutting for you or is that your own set up?
