Filarmonica 7/8 Customs in Curly Nara and in Cocobolo
This is the second of three razors for my friend Crankymoose, you have to see the first one to see why I did things a certain way
Filarmonica #1
This second one we used some Curly Nara wood in the same pattern, and I tied back to #1 with the Emerald acrylic wedge, and the same center pin set... The Nara is finished with 8 coats of wipe on gloss Poly, it is a rather easy wood to work, I liked the look a lot...
Filarmonica #2

Another nice job on one of these Fillies. I like this wood choice, I'll have to keep an eye peeled for some. I like the accent of the center pin, and to top it all off these blade are great shavers.

Nice Glen, I have to say, the one think I don't like about the Fily's are the original scales at least on the NOS blades. When you get up to a no 14, with the 15/16th blade, The balance is horrible, and the scales feel like they're going to break in half any minute....Great blade though
We have assumed control !

Nice work as always!
That's an interesting looking wood. To me, that finish and the grain pattern looks a lot like fine, soft leather, so it sort of looks like you're tucking away the blade in a wallet or in a leather jacket. Very cool.
