I bought this one as a bare blade with no scales at all, so I made some out of cherry wood. The spacer is also cherry wood, all finished with tung oil and polished with micro-mesh. It's my second restore, and the finish is better than the first, and I also managed to saw a much thinner piece of wood to start with. (First effort here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...t-restore.html)
The blade had three patches of light pitting, and again I didn't manage to get it completely smooth - it's a tiny object and not easy to sand.
The pinning is 1/16" brass rod, with M1.6 stainless steel washers.
