    Sassafrass is a great timber to work with.
    Coming along nicely

    Not being picky, just curious about your spacer. May just be the pic's perspective but it seems wider at the end rather than near the blade.

    Actually, it is slightly wider at the end. I purposely tapered the spacer so as not to put alot of stress on the tip of the scales. Putting the blade in there stresses the wood near the pin if the spacer isn't tapered, IMHO.

    I get your point. I'm just use to seeing the taper reversed

    I'm pretty new to this. Is it better to have the taper reversed from the way I did it? Every bit of help I could definitely use! Thank you for the input!

    This is a factory razor. You will see the taper is reversed to yours. Hope this helps.

    The contrast of the black walnut with the sassafras looks very nice -- good choices!
