This is a interesting one.
I was sent a few pieces of Spilati wood and some wart hog tusk and was ask to make a razor around it.
So after some playing and testing here is what came out. I have say, the wood came out with some really nice colors once it was sanded down
The razor is 8/8 with a worked spine. The Spilati wood scales have been finished with CA. The wedge is made from the tusk and then for a little extra, I covered the tail with the tusk as well.
Yet again Brian, a superb looking razor!
Did I mention that I'm in awe of the talented people in this group? Wildly jealous, but in awe.
Does the tusk have a grain when polished, or is it more consistent?
As I sat here and looked at the first picture of the parts, I knew the finished result would be great. Awesome work!
Not much "grain" to speak of. Most of that may have to do with the size of a useful piece.Quote:

I love the picture of the raw materials in the "before" shot! What a cool setup and an even better conclusion. Very inspiring sir!!!
Man that is really nice. Once again you have done a wonderful job. Congratulations.
Well done. A work of art like this razor seems to have a life of it's own.
Simply beautiful all the way around Brian. Superb workmanship.
Absolute stunner Brian...my all-time favorite razor so far!
You used the wood and tusk that held a huge amount of sentimental value, and made a masterpiece. Thank you.
Looks great. The colors work well together on that.
She's a beauty. I love the covered tail.
Excellent work as always Brian. Really like the way the scales turned out as well. Beautiful grain on that wood.

Your steel looks great. Doesn't look like you follow another's shape. You've created your own signature style, but seems each has its own character.
Neat to hear you were able to use the unique supplied material, making complete assembly where all pieces complement each other.
Congrats to leadingedge. Not only do you get a nice looking razor, sounds like one that might be a little extra special for you.
