It is similar to other woods.
For spreading the CA -- I came up with an awesome trick..
Take a ~3" long piece of clear packing tape -- the nice, thick 3M stuff...the cheapo stuff is..well..cheap...
stick the tape to your index finger, and wrap it so that it is PERFECTLY smooth on the pad of your finger (no tape seams, etc..)
Now, you have full control over the spreading process, can turn your finger around those little edges.... Far superiour to any sort of spreading device (brush, sponge, toothpick, etc)
When you are done spreading, that piece of tape goes straight in the trash.
I also put together a little stand from scrapwood and some 3" screws ground to very small diameter points to fit into pivot holes.

I use those finger guards that you put on your finger when you have a cut for spreading CA.

Thanked: 1 great work
Well, this is my razor, and I am anxiously awaiting it in the mail. Brad did an excellent job, and I cannot commend him enough. He worked with me through out the process, communicating, sending photos, etc. His pricing is very fair, and his work is very professional. I am anxious to get this puppy in my hands and the blade on my face. Thanks Brad!!!

Beautiful!
I love the way the CA has brought out the best in the wood.
I've had one go. I used cling film wrapped around my finger. I'll try your method next time.

Those scales are just stunning!
I got some nice wood samples the other day to try and do a set of wood scales with cut metal inlay. I was looking at finishing with CA. Your pic and discription of your process was a huge help.
Thanks!!!
