Vladsch,
These coffins look great. I just might pm
you in the near future about getting a couple.
I would opt for nothing on the lid. At first I
thought a skull would look kinda cool?
Would you object?

I did say "I can make a unique one per customer".
I prefer to make different ones, to fit the personality of the person and the razor. It is more fun. Although, I will be making boxes that are generic, but with ability to add inlays and razor contouring that is custom.
Keaton too wanted a skull. I can still make it for him, but he also mentioned that he wanted it to look like an old style coffin. I thought that a cross on it would do the trick. If he still wants a skull then I can do that too.
I don't mind making all kinds of boxes. I am honing up my box making skills just making them for my own razors. So PM me if you want a custom box.
Here is the top panel of the Strat box that I am working on. I just did the inlay and the heat treated sunburst. The wood is not yet finished and the sunburst will become paler after sanding that will be done when the box is complete.
I thought of making a Stratocaster outline with pins but when I tried the design it did not look good. So I opted out for this "victorian" style. It should make the box look classy.
I am also almost finished with the Strat strop handle, the brass fixtures have been done for over a week. So I'll be sending it to Tony Miller to have him turn it into a strop. Should be a nice set when it is done.

It's a good sign.
I did not make the box yet and already there is a fight over it.

Thanked: 2I just wanted opinions not orders. But yes it is a good sign. Maybe you could quit your day job.

Thanked: 2Well Vlad,
What ever gets the bills paid. It looks like we are going to start a trend due to so few razor boxs out there. Especially of this caliber.

Thanked: 2ha!
that is pretty nice. you would need a custom razor with a zombie or decomposing body for scales to put in there. or a vampire.
