If you have a little oil on the steel when you apply bluing it will blotch like that. Never tried to intentionally speckle on like that but I may give it a try. What did you use to route the pocket in the box?

Really diggin the finish and the handle...best one yet.

Holy Shiznitz, Baldy. Whatever crawled into your imagination (and the skills to execute) - I want some of. That's really beautiful. 'Truly artful.

Thanks Rene. I dont know, after sanding I cleaned under hot water, then cleaned with Acetone while wearing nitrile hospital gloves. There are a few theories on this thread http://straightrazorpalace.com/forge...al-result.html but we may never know.

This type of mutation never crossed my mind.
I have a ton of blades, would you mind if I took your idea and gave it a try myself?

Go for it, however I cant take credit for the concept. I was originaly inspired by thread from shooter74743 where he did a similar job.

The timber was cut through with a scroll saw and then another piece 3mm thick glued on the bottom.
Thanks everyone

Amazing transformation, love how it turned out.
I think it is one of the coolest razors I've seen
