Kool Kustomising & a big +1 for 'shiny non mirror finishes.' Guess I'm lazy too

Please don't tell me you put that notch in by hand sanding...I think that would border on self abuse...

The finish actually isn't a mirror finish, more of a "shiny" finish. There are some remaining scratches, and pitting that I left there in honor of it being a 150 year old razor.
(OK, OK...so I left them there 'cause I'm lazy like that!
)
It is a lovely shape, though...

Cherry over aluminum, gunstock shape. Countersunk screws, threaded into back scale.
Acrylic spacer gives a subtle and cool effect! (I forget who already used this as a spacer, but my hat's off to you
)

Yeah, maybe it was Max I was thinking of...
I also have some cool flourescent acrylic, but that wasn't appropriate for this razor. Maybe on my next project....

Looks great !
Are those liners anodised or sealed somehow ? Just wondering if corrosion is a risk at all.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Nah...6061 aluminum isn't going to be going anywhere. Even if it did, hit it up with some scotch-brite and it'd be back in business.

Thanx. I was thinking more about the steel rusting thru galvanic reaction but I guess it'd have to be wet for quite a while to be any concern.
