That is one sweet razor and a great collection......
I love Biuckeye burl and have a few nice pieces around. I make reel seats for the bamboo flyrods that I make. Gorgeous wood IMHO.... will have to re-saw sometime.....

Stunning! Beautiful design of blade and scales. I can see why you wanted to make the scales yourself! :tu :tu
That is indeed a beautiful razor.
Got my dad back into fly fishing years ago when I moved to Colorado. He makes his own rods as well. I believe he has made 3 bamboo for himself and half a dozen standard rods. Fun to do.Quote:

Here is the reel seat that went on my last rod.... Buckeye burl and I made the bands as well.
