This was a blade send to be by Mudkipz. took about 2 weeks or so to get it done. i know not very fast but for my second razor i think it turned out pretty well. there are a few things that i need to work on but im starting to get a hang of what im looking for now and how to fix it. here are the finally pics. please enjoy. and Mudkipz hide this one for the misses lol.

as you can see a few things on it could have been better. but again keep in mind that this was the second one i did.

Looks good to me. What sort of finish did you use?

**jballs918** · 07-02-2009, 04:29 AM

oh forgot to tell you all that, it was 5 coats of tung oil on the inside and 8 coats on the outside, this was walnut also. sorry forgot.

Not bad for your second try... I know you didn't ask for help, but if I had one thing to say, I'd say to take a bit more time on the pins. In one of the pics it looks like they are not mushroomed out and down flush to the washer. A few pore light taps around the outside and I think it would be there. Good job though, I am a huge fan of walnut!

are you referring to the one in hte rear

**VeeDubb65** · 07-02-2009, 04:57 AM

I've never used tung oil, but I may have to give it a try. I've done one rescale so far, with the figured mahogany I bought from... wait, who was it.... Oh that's right, I bought it from you! lol (beautiful wood by the way)

Anyway, I finished those with wax, and I like the look on the not so shiny razor I put them on.

you will have to post some pictures of that so i can see how the wood turned out, my boss was also talking about wax for a sealer

I am STOKED!

This will be my first customized razor. I will naturally have to post ridiculous amounts of pictures and such in show and tell once it arrives.

You can also expect a full review. I don't have any other customs to go on, so I'll just have to compare it to all my other regular razors and see if it looks like something I would buy new.

The pics look great to me!
