    Default Royal in Cascara (Buckthorn)

    I started messing around with a piece of wood a good friend of mine gave me to try. It didn't look like much when raw. I was practicing making a shape on the scales, tapering from the wedge end back to the pin end. When I got it done and put a swipe of tung oil on it, man was I surprised. This is beautiful. So I looked in my box of eBay scores and found a razor that said "Royal" on it. Bingo. The wedge is Cocobolo, pins and washers are brass. I used wide brass washers because the wood is just a little soft. I am not happy with the finish on the blade. Next time I won't sand at night by the light of the worklight. I'll go back and redo it when I get a chance.Name: Royal 011.jpg Views: 364 Size: 30.0 KB

    You must be a perfectionist, I'd be very happy with that blade!

    Nicely done, sir.

    Nice finish, on the blade and the nicely shaped scales.

    You got that really nice. Those scales look beautiful.

    I have lot of (too many) sea buckthorns growing around my house. I never thought of making any woodworks of them, but now i really have to give them a try.

    That came out nice! Not a huge fan of wood but that one is striking.

    So far I have done Cocobolo and now Cascara. I will continue to use both in the future.
    I have however, just received a bunch of acrylic and horn from Masecraft.
    BTW, I highly recommend Masecraft for supplies.

    Be careful in handling it. They use the bark to make a laxative. Wear a respirator!

    Yes I am, to my own detriment.
