    Beautiful work

    What have you used for the finish? Or are they just sanded and buffed/polished?

    I am not usually a fan of wood scales. Probably because most that I have seen are not finished and fitted properly. Your razor, however superior in both of those respects. Some of the finest wood scales I've ever come across. Thanks for sharing.

    Those are really nice wood scales. I would have no problem owning those.

    When I see a New Thread by Ali I start to smile even before I see the pics.

    Nice work man. These scales are wonderful. Nice lined wedge on the snakewood too! I also like the rounded edges. Too often scales that aren't rounded look bulky.....

    Great stuff.
