    G ~ Your scales have a distinct essence about them. This one is very "Grand Marnier" or maybe "Cointreau". TASTEEEEEE !!!

    Yeah baby... that's orange alright. Reminds me of the same Ern I made in G10 Hunter orange.

    Great work brother, Ern worthy. Nice touch on the design and third pin too. Keep 'em coming G.

    Default What a shaver !!!

    So Erick, ya gotta love him, says in a PM yesterday, Glen don't drive all the way to town just to mail my razor, after all it is your vacation

    So I used that as an excuse to do a full shave with the "Tangerine Dream" this morning before it went to the PO...
    The test shave was great but the whole shave was awesome, I really like this blade, just smooth as can be... Used the Shaptons from 1-30 and followed that with 10 laps on the CrOx Bench strop and 15 on the CeOx bench strop...

    Nice, Nice !!!!

    I think they might be just a wee bit too small, but I wouldn't know. They'd make some nifty scales though if well cut and polished.
    You need 6 inch long blanks at the least

    Check out www.woodpenpro.com and look for the 6"x1"x1" pen blanks, they can be cut and used... The Mondo Rod I guess could be used too, although I have not tried it myself...
    You have to cut thicker blanks (3/16) then you would for actual wood then thin them up from the backside as the last step...

    I would not recommend all this unless you have two things in yer shop
    1. A table saw with a very thin kerf rip blade, and a reverse side rip fence...
    2. a belt sander, preferably 4x36
    without these two tools, doing these acrylic scales is a ton of hard work...
