    That is some fantastic grain in those scales!
    Wonderful restoration of what i'm sure is a great shaver.
    Congrats on your find and your work.

    Beautiful job. Sadly my recent attempt at making a set of scales using this same wood resulted in the scales literally breaking into pieces during sanding.

    I know this wood is prone to breaking, so i really went over my piece before hand to make sure it had no splits or defects. I also left the scales a tad thicker at about 3/16. Rounding them helps because it gives you the idea its thinner then it actually is. The 8 coats of polyurethane also helps to hold everything together afterwards. Its funny, i got the wood at leevalley. All the other wood was about $1 - $3 for 3/4 x 3/4 x 6. This was $8.70. not cheap.

    Yep I grabbed a pen stock piece and cut that little b^%&&d by hand to yield three pieces. I was trying to sand it thinner than 1/8 and snap, three pieces. Can't see myself attempting to work with that wood again until I get some power tools to rip that pen stock, it takes way too long to do by hand.

    Harrywally,
    Amazing job with this shaver. It is beautiful. I would like to some pictures of it on a different surface that accents your work on the burl.

    Heres some other pics on a black leather pillow. helps bring out the black lines in the burl. The polyurethane is so much like glass, it reflects any light back at my camera.

    Thanks, that wood is really sweet. Some of the swirls remind me of "Starry Night"
