Thread: Wacker wedge in two tone Amboyna

Wow, what a work of art.

Great scales and blade!
Also, ow do you get your pictured so clear?
I want to post some pics of my razors but
they come out like crap and I just bought a new digital
camera to do just that!
Any tips?

Again, great scales!

also how long does something like that take you?

The horizontal separation also avoids a pin falling on or around a seam. Personally, I like the way the wood balances with that kind of devide, the eye flows better over the lines.

What do you use as your finish on the wood?

I love my Wacker too!!! Although it is a Dorko Wacker grind. It would look pretty cool in some of those scales and a mirror polish!

The color of this Burl really pops and you topcoat is very nice. Great job sir!
