    Thanks again for all the kind comments. Being a noob in this wonderful hobby can be quite humbling from time to time. I am very thankful for all the gentlemen who have been doing this for years and their guidance.

    Very nice job, love the dark blue and white combo.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Btw, I've been looking for some nice wood scales for my 6/8 barber's notch "The Celebrated" Wade and Butcher razor. The scales on it need to be seriously replaced. If you could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I think I could do it myself, just need the scales and pins.

    The workmanship is superb but the overall effect is sometimes wrong to me. There's a time and place for tripple stacked washers but they have to be in context. The acrylic is just overloaded with hardware - sometimes less is best.

    If these comments seem harsh then I'll bet in a years time you'll look back and think that maybe you would do things differently now.

    As I said the work is great - so maybe concentrate a bit more on thinking through how you want the end product to look. You won't have a problem in achieving it.
