Another collaboration with WillN on this set, Will turned the handle, while I restored the razor, a 5/8 Henckels 50½, then I finished the scales and the brush to match.. The knot is a 24 mm low loft Silvertip..
I added the inlay transfer, and here is the finished set...

Very nice,How do you attach/Adhiese? the transfer to the scale?
I hate you.
In a good way. :D
That is some phenomenal work.
A beautiful set there! Nice work Glen!
Love Olivewood. Did 3 sets of scales in it. You have inspired me to turn a brush to match!
I use two different techniques depending on the finish/material that I am transfering to...Quote:

Thank you.Do you somewhat feather the edges of the the transfer?,or are they usually thin enough to where it do's not matter.
The cleanest way to do them is to create a "Frame" out of packing tape then the glue stays where you want, after the inlay is carefully placed another piece of tape over the top applies the pressure and allows you to flatten out the epoxy and the inlay creating a near perfect transfer... If you can get away with a softer wood and a few taps of a chasing hammer, you can sometimes get a near perfect look with a slight imprint... Unfortunately we have to come up with fun ways of putting the inlay "On" instead of "In" the scales.. I guess if one were doing resin pours they could try an actual inlay, or if you have a laser..Quote:

It is soooo great!
BTW, just to brag, it's my set :)
Absolutely superb package! Congratulations to the new owner.
That's what she said?Quote:

Nice looker for sure! Great inlay transfer. It really pops on the olivewood.
Beautiful set guys. I am sure the owner will be very happy.
A spectacular display of the beautiful figuring of this wood - and a shoulderless blade to boot! Ooh-la-la!! Nicely done. :tu :tu
Damn Glen you did it again. Wonderful work. That is truly a gorgeous set, someone sure is lucky.
Glen, That's just how I would have done it! Alright, Alright, if I could. Beautiful work!! Something to be very proud of!!
Yup, very nice.

I like it when you and WillN get together, the result is always fantastic. Great set, they look great.
gssixgun and WillN together????? OH man, a killer combo. Just absolutely beautiful work from you both.
Beautiful work gents :tu & the fingerprints will surely add to the value of that blade :)
I am inspired. Also a bit drunk :(
I am very keen on matching scales & brushes. Is that an AD? MSBAD?
