Max Voos "FLIC" in Turkish Walnut
Well, Glen and I must have been channeling the same muse when Travis sent us our blocks of Turkish Walnut and asked for "Classy Scales." I finished this one yesterday and spent most of last night fighting with my light box...
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...

You did an excellent job. I like the way that you did the walnut and the very subtle tones of the scales. Very classy!

Wow, beautiful! That is some very nice looking wood, and the whole thing looks very classy. I do have a question also: In the second picture, the wedge looks to be turned 90degrees from what I am used to i.e. the thick part of the wedge is pointing up instead of in. Could you explain to me why you decided to make it this way? Thanks for sharing!
