Dubl Duck in Paua Shell
This Dubl Duck Started with wrong scales that were too short, heck it wouldn't even close.
I cleaned up the blade rust and made the scales with Paua shell from Masecraft.
From sheet stainless steel, I made some washers oversize. Domed them to make little half spheres. To keep their shape I stacked tappered washers behind them. Nickel rod was used, peening and polishing smooth. I like how they kinda look like shinny little pearls against the shell.
The wedge is red acrylic that has some white streaks in it.

Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Sweet!
I really like DD's, mine are probably my best shavers, and re-scaled like that they look awesome! You should be really proud of that re-scale, thats a really great job!

Very nice job, I appreciate the attention to detail you've put into things like your domed washers. It should be a wonderful shaver, and I wish you the best with it!
