I really dig that bumblebee! Cool!
those pacan scales look great
As nice as the G10 scales are the wood ones really do it for me. They are just lovely to look at. I think I was a termite in a previous life.

I agree .... that spalted Pecan is awesome
:tu

Very nice. All look great. That Goncalo Alves looks really interesting though.
Again, very nice work.
they all look good to me , fine job !
That salted pecan is gorgeous!
Mmmmmm, those scales look good enough to eat. Nice job, GlenQuote:

Quite alright. I didn't even notice that I'd been auto corrected!
One of my top three excuses also! :rofl2:Quote:

Very Nice indeed Glen. I can't pick a favorite I like em all. Even the edible one.
Man I love the look of amboyna burls, and the DD is just wicked cool Glen!
I'm in the same pickle....I can't pick a favorite. But, that bumble bee is, for some reason, mesmerizing to me. :shrug: The others are just elegant, especially the spalted pecan. Guess I'm a DD Bumble Bee'er. Nice work!!!
Howard :D
This was the interesting one for me too, first time I had used this wood for scales, I have made quite a few sets of Pistol and Revolver grips from it..Quote:

I really liked the outcome myself..
The Burls had CA finish over Polyurethane Vacuum Chamber treated blanks, the Chittum although beautiful to look at was a true PITA to get right :)
Glen my friend what can I say!Quote:

I also thank you for the technical info on the finishing!:tu
Bravo Glen damn fine work on all of the razors! You said the Chittum was a PITA, how difficult was it to place the Satinedge inlay/bolster in the G-10 scales? With these 5 master pieces completed my baby's are closer to the bench!!! I like the soft satin finish you leave on the blades.
The spalted pecan is fabulous!
Very nice craftmanship on all, but the pecan stands out!
I'm always impressed with your inlay transfers, and those wood scales are just outstanding.

Just add my vote for the pecan - lovely patterning. All the wood ones are lovely though. I'm not keen on the bumblebee (am I allowed to say that?)
Thanks for the pics Glen. I love looking at this section of the forum.

Cool stuff Glen, I like the way that g-10 turned out on the DD but as others have mentioned that spalted pecan is, so nice. Best Regards Ken
G,
I think you know which one is my favorite. :D I can't wait to get them!
