    Default Box of wood, 5 feet of bras rod, several feet of razor steel and a 30 day set

    Took me a month to get all of these finished. There is 5 feet of brass rod in all of these just for the pins. All NOS Henckels, mostly those monster oversized 8/8 blades. Some with worked spines, many with Spanish points, a few square and a couple round. Throw in 6 assorted style 7/8's to round things out and you have a 30 day set of razors. There is a lot of Xylia burl, a couple Birch burl, Maple burl, Ironwood burl, Ironwood, Snakewood, Purpleheart, Buckeye burl, Mesquite, Lacewood and a Redwood burl. All finished in epoxy resin.

    1 month, well done. At the rate I get things done it would take me a couple of years to do that many razors.
    Nice work, love the burl

    Finish up that silvertip badger brush order, work on more espresso machine orders and rebuild/finish 15 Russian Vostock CM-2 Olympic rifles.

    Really fine work. Love the burl wood. I especially like the shape of your scales at the wedge end.

    Very nice every time I look at the pictures my eyes go straight for the buckeye burl. I really like the look of that wood. Always seems to have nice color and depth to it. What is the wood in the 5th picture bottom farthest to the left? Almost looks like redheart with sap wood, but with lacewood grain.
