This was my first attempt at a rescale using acrylic pen blank material. The blade needs alittle more polishing just couldn't wait to shave with it .The test shave last night was great nice and smooth after a light touch up on the hone.
looks great!, dont worry about the poilishing. if you like it that is what matters. i only did a few coats on the one i finished this afternoon
Nice first go. I think it looks pretty good. If you like it, thats the most important thing.
pretty good looking pins.
Congrats on your first try:tu. This will just keep better and better. Thank you for sharing :nj
Very nice you should be proud of the scales and pinning for your first go.
You should be proud, looks good. I like the swirl on the scale material.
I like how the swirl lands in the middle of the scale.
Where did you get pen blanks long enough? All the ones I've run into are just 5 inches.
Well done, congrats!
Very beautiful scales, good work.
Thanks guys!
Tumtaty asked were i got pen blanks so long they are acually only 5" long this razor was 4 1/4" from the pivot hole to the end of the blade so it worked out allright lengthwise. I wish you could see the metal flake in the pics i need to make a diy light box up (already in the works!)
Good work for your first. That acrylic suits the blade well. I used a pen blank for my first one too..if you have the right blade it works fine :)
Tumtatty: 6 in pen blanks are available in that acrylic from Pen kit, pen mandrel, pen bushing, pen blanks, wood pens
You have to dig deeper
