Thread: Snakewood, purpleheart, ebony, buckeye burl and more

Just finished up a fist full of Fieordors, 7/8 round points and 8/8 square.

There is quilted Redwood burl with a jade green wedge, Purpleheart with an ebony wedge, Bloodwood with a metallic green wedge, Gabon ebony with a MOP wedge, Buckeye Burl with a Bacote wedge and Snakewood with an ebony wedge. A fist full of good shaving steel all heading to an online vendor tomorrow (shavingshop.com).

Ran out of space, and the Snakewood. All are finished in epoxy resin with 1/16 brass pins with brass over stainless washers.

Beautiful work... all of them are awesome looking. I do have a brush that would look great next to that buckeye burl.

great work, hope you did not have fits with the tangs

As do I. That is the same slab of stock I cut my Livi scales from. I also turned myself a matching silvertip to go with it.

They were not very bad. I only had one that really favored one side and needed a little extra attention. I have scaled probably 50 of these in various sizes. I have noticed the earlier ones were better ground. I have one of the Spanish point worked spine 8/8 from a year or so ago in my rotation. Very nice shaving blades, thinking about one of the 7/8 round points to go with it.

Beautiful work! I really like your choices for woods and the finish on the scales. Makes them really glow!!

Those are beautifully done! Fantastic look wood.

Great Job!

Excellent choices in wood, and gorgeous finishes! Nice work.

Oh, lord, those are GORGEOUS!! How do you bring out the luster in the wood so well? Your redwood, Purpleheart and -especially!!- the buckeye look amazing!!

I love your work with Buckeye Burl, this and that Livi from a while ago... Absolutely phenomenal
