Thread: Olivewood scales....Thank you Substance !!

Substance put me on to this guy, "George" and he really came through for me !!
Based in South Australia, I told him what I wanted and after a number of emails,
this is what I requested:


This is what I got. My order was for 6 pairs for $50.00 including postage.
He did knock off about $6.00 and he gave me 3 extra pairs.

I believe this is Aussie Olivewood, but I'm not really bothered either way.
This kind of friendly transaction has really made me happy and I will be
contacting "George" again for more razor scales.

The scales need a good sanding before attaching to a razor, but you
will get a very good idea of the grain from the pics below.

Interesting fact, these scales smell like Worcestershire sauce !!

What a score, great to here positive feed back from our Aussie sources

Yep, you said it mate ....Keep in mind that to get these, I had to deal outside e-prey.
He has some really nice Walnut slabs and I'll be asking him about these as soon as I have some cash.
