Luna through the window

[Str8Raz0r]

This is a rescale for one of the local boys here in Brisbane. The blade is an A.Fiest & Co. - Lunawerks. I dont know anything about the blade at all.
The razor came to me with a cracked bakelite scale and a after-market third pin.

To give the scales a touch of 'Luna' I created a moon shaped window with 2 part epoxy.
The scales are smoke acrylic and the wedge is white acrylic. The pins are brass with a brass, stainless, brass stacked washer.

Nice work mate. That moon shaped feature looks awesome.

Wow Stu, that looks great. I thought it looked good when you showed us the roughed out scales at the meet, but the finished job is so, so much nicer.
Well done.

So is that an epoxy insert. Looks great Stu !

[Stubear]

Great job mate, she looks fantastic!

I really like the little epoxy window you did, thats really original and different! Looks fantastic!

[Pauly]

Great job.

I know that the original plan was for solid black acrylic but the very dark smoke adds some translucence and gives a night's sky effect which enhances the whole theme.

If you've got any of that dark smoke scale material left you may want to consider a southern cross for a future project.

Now that's a bloody brilliant idea Pauly!

Oz,

Thanks.

I was originally trying to make an insert from acrylic, but gave up after many hours of sanding both hole and insert. I ended up pouring the epoxy into the hole in the scale material, waited for it to set, then sanded it back with the rest of the scale.

Worked out well mate. The scales are a gem.

Very nice! Simple lines and a new trick for me to learn!
Thank you
