    Default Max Voos "FLIC" in Turkish Walnut

    Scales are a simple design, flat panels to let the wood really speak for itself. Used my special Tung Oil blend to rub these until they shine like a French lacquer. Brass pins, and a brass-lined faux tortoiseshell wedge...

    Very nice indeed. Funny you bring this up, but I shaved with a razor named "THE BOOS" today. Love the wedge work & finish...

    Whoa! That is amazing work and I can't believe how well that brass liner turned out. I still can't get over how well that wood looks when it's finished.

    Very pretty timber & the scales complement the square point perfectly.
