Gorgeous job on the razor and scales. I've been considering making a set out of camel bone. Is it a good media for scales now that you have worked with it?

That is a nice one! That Camel bone is interesting. Most I see, the scales are thicker. Would it be strong enough to make some thin ones as in old Ivory? I surely has a nice glow to it. That is indeed big for a Clauss! Good work!
Thanks for the kind words guys. Any type of bone is stinky stuff to work with. Be sure to wear a breathing mask. I also wore a hat. :) I don't have a thickness measurement of the scales on this razor but I don't think I would make them any thinner unless I went with a flat wedge/spacer. The bone polishes up nice but it is brittle.
Lovely work Joe! :tu
Completely agree about bone being smelly to work with, definitely not my favourite smell.
But when the result is as pretty as this it's hard to say no to it! :)
Wowwww Joe,
When you come out for a show and tell, it's serious business. You've gone all out on this Clauss :bow. I love it. She looks marvelous:tu
