Great job! I've had very little luck with black palm... just can't seen to get it looking good. I've been using a palm with tighter grain than yours. And I don't think I've been finishing it correctly. Maybe next time I'll try CA. I would just love to get scales to loom as good as yours here.

Beautiful job on that razor.
I agree that palm is difficult, but I disagree that it is a wood. The problem is that palm is a grass. As such grasses require some different techniques. Glen has a good idea with the thin CA. I have used this many times while turning grasses. I also use it for punky woods or anything I fear will fall apart.
Part of our problems with grasses is that we don't know much of the techniques used in woring them; where in other countries the tools look different because they know more about grasses.
sorry for the vagueness, but I don't know much about it either

Very nice looking handles and razor. Congratulations.

Never seen before this beautiful wood. I'd like to hold it in my hands. Maybe I get the chance in November (vacation in FL).
Congrats-well done!
