Hi all. For your enjoyment (hopefully) here is a Wolma 6/8ths hollow grind dressed in bocote....

The scales are oiled and waxed, the pins are brass with stacked steel and brass washers and the wedge is bone.

Must remember to take some before shots next time! Thanks for looking

Michael

Very nice, classic and elegant. Good job on the peening too.

Thanks Max. This was my first go with stacked washers, it may not be my last!

Nice one. I really like the look of that razor, so clean and simple. You put a nice polish on it.

Excellent work! What exactly did you use for the finish on the wood? Tung oil then seal with wax?

Very nice and clean lines. Sometimes its nice to see something a little more classy like this.

Thanks! I use Danish oil. Not sure exactly what's in it but it smells like it's got tung oil in it. I soak the scales in it for a few hours then after they are fully dry I give them a coat or two of a good quality beeswax based polish. This method is common over hear for knife scales.

Thanks for all the kind coments guys. It means a lot.

A blend of boiled linseed oil, mineral spirits, and some sort of urethane... brand to brand the blend will vary, as will assorted other flashing agents and whatnot...

Looks really good. Great work!
