The above quote is from below...this last post was fresh enough to edit, so figured I'd reply here, rather than reply fresh and bump to the top of forum.Quote:

Such as cutting the panels in a more extreme, or differing directions, placing some sort of inlay under the clear, etc to make a more obvious theme. Thankfully he reeled me in, wanting a clean simple look. He was happy with the idea of the raked MOP panels and blue/white color to be reminiscent of a berg, not looking so much for a theme razor.
I now see how my comment 'like an iceberg' when I started the thread might be misleading, sorry, wasn't my intention

Excellent work, I am a big fan of genuine MOP. Why the owner wanted it to look like an iceberg is beyond me, and amongst the list of things I deem it to resemble, an iceberg is not one of them - to me it looks like a very handsomely scaled razor! You never know, looks might just be the tip of the iceberg!
Beautiful Fridour....even prettier scales. A work of art as always walt.
Gorgeous restore, well done!
Wow. DC, your work is just wonderful. I love seeing each one. This is just beautiful.
Very nice work! and IMO no such thing as too many images of great work.
Beautiful,that says it.
