Twisted Oak's Ongoing Restorations Thread

[TwistedOak]

This is The Diamond Razor Co. from Boston Mass. Scales are curly maple with a curly maple wedge. Brass pins and washers. I either made the wedge too angled or used less glue than usual, but as I started pinning the pivot the toe side separated as you can see in the picture. Then as I tried tightening the pivot to an acceptable level the show side pin head split somewhat from too much material being left for pinning. So the scales started out looking very nice but then everything fell apart as I assembled it...
