Shumate Barber, 1st go at acrylic
Welllll...for some time now I've been musing about trying different mediums, hence the horn threads a couple weeks ago. This is my first run at acrylic. This is my Shumate Barber, which I love dearly. I buffed her on 600 grit and that's it. The scales are called Comet, and I went 220 to 12k. Tried buffing them after 12k with Fabulustre just to see what happened....and it worked great. Bone wedge, brass hardware (I like the bolt as a pivot on my own razors).
Thanks for looking.

The acrylic came from Pen kit, pen mandrel, pen bushing, pen blanks, wood pens
The 1 by 6 Monster blanks.

Nice Maxi. I really like the satin finish over the mirror polish. That finish looks very classy to me.
The Tiki doll though reminds me of a cheap horror movie that scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Fabulous, Maxi. 'Never tried acrylic. You make it look good.
Shumate barbers are wonderful. 'Wish they made some larger sizes. Each one I've had (7) has been excellent - comparable to the Gencos.
'hope you're proud of this one - its really nice.

I normally am not a big fan of the patterned acrylics, but these are really nice. Good job!
