8/8 Friodur in Thuya Burl
I had a hell of a time with this one. I even posted a thread about it. As with alot of Friodurs, this one had a bent tang, finally got it though. Spent more time pinning it than making the scales.
Scales: Thuya Burl w/ Black Liner (This wood has a TON of depth)
Finish: CA
Wedge: Ivory Micarta
Pins: Nickel Silver with brass and stainless washers

It turned out stellar and I know exactly about the "I spend more time trying to get the damn razor to fit' then the actual job.

Very nice all around work!
A classy finish to an excellent shaver.
