Thread: My first Livi, my blade design in Bergam damasks and buckeye burl

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!

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.

Cool..... It is indeed a wonderful hobby. I just love fishing a rod I made from a raw stick of bamboo. Part of the reason I am restoring razors to use myself.... Just pleasurable to me.

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



Another one and I will stop hijacking this thread.....

good looking work, just have to finish the ice fishing season,then the 1st of april is landlock salmon season, now thats a fish to fight on a fly rod,thanks for the pics.
