My personal favorite color of acrylic, Aquamarine... I really tried to capture the 3D effect that is has in these pics..
The Boker just needed a small bit of TLC on the steel, it came without scales to me so I used the flared wedge design I like so much.. The wedge is a translucent White acrylic Nickel Silver pins and bi-metal washers...
The finish was 12000 grit Micromesh and Novus 1-2-3 polish...

The scales are truly beautiful and you did capture the effect quite will in your pics. Beautiful work as always.
Simply Beautiful! That material has a nice calming affect to it. Love it.
That is very cool. I'm with Catrent....very calming scales. That would be a good razor to take out after a hard day at work, and just look at it for a minute before using it! :)
Very nice set of scales. Thx for sharing.
Hello, Glen:
That Boker conjures up the image of a beautiful lady in a flowered dress lounging along the blue waters of a south seas paradise. Then she turns to you and utters a sultry, "Hello."
Well done, my good man.
Regards,
Obie
Awesome work Glen!! another masterpiece.
I agree with you, I really like the scales on this one.
Gorgeous looking razor there Glenn, well done. But what's a flared wedge?
Obie, I like how you think :)Quote:

Can I send a razor to you and get it rescaled like that?
Awesome work as usual, Glen. That scale material is eye catching.

Awesome! I'd be curious to see the 'before' pics. It's amazing with some Bokers as a lot come with the generic black celluloid scales. You really brought out the inner beauty here
Ohhh Now!! That is NICE! Seems waves are crashing in! SWEET!
No scales came with this, so I had to just wing it but I have done that a time or two :) the steel wasn't too bad just a few stains except at the pivot which had the typical black rings..Quote:

Hi Folks !

Beautiful. Great eye to find that perfect section of the material to display so much vitality. Incredible when you consider the confined space of the scales. I know you've mentioned before you often use one piece of acrylic, keeping a thin cut. I still need to say it though - I still love how you match the sides so inboard of scales, match outside pattern
Beauty queen.
You should do all of your work in a photo studio, then MAYBE you wouldn't forget :-PQuote:
