    Default Torrey 258

    Not much to say about this one. Hand sanded as per usual, and put back in original scales. Then I decided to do a little padauk and cow bone to change it up a little. Tung oil finish. I think it looks nice. The balance is good and stropping is nice.

    Even though I really love working with wood....even I think I need to start experimenting with other mediums.

    Thanks for looking everyone.

    Looks great mate. Love the finish on the wood. I'm the other way arround, I like working with plastics, using wood is a bit new and scary to me.

    I like the wood myself. Little harder to clean sometimes, but worth it.

    Looks amazing!! Great looking blade.

    I respectfully disagree ...I don't think she looks "nice" . She looks beautiful . Nicely done Maxi

    The razor looks quite at home in those very nicely styled and fabricated scales. Simple and elegant!

    Very nice clean look you've created. That wedge really bring out the beauty and color of the wood.
