    Default 1" 1/16 Rodgers

    This puppy arrived today. It's very wedgy and currently the biggest razor I own.

    I like the forms - curvy, flowing & smiling

    Now I need to make up my mind on its new scales

    Cheers
    Ivo

    Those big sheffields look great in giraffe bone scales.



    And I suspect they'd look good in oryx scales as well.

    True, true

    However, I have another beautiful 6/8 JR in pink ivory and am thinking of getting the same for this one.

    On the other hand, I have no olivewood and I really love it...

    Hard to decide

    Cheers
    Ivo

    Hey Ivo if you want I'll send you some meranti wood for free.
    Wayne D recently posted pictures of a restoration he did with the wood I sent him.
    Let me know if you like it & want some.

    1-1/16" That calls for a demo video!

    Hi Bruno

    This is a very kind offer and I really appreciate it!

    However, I really lean towards pink ivory or olivewood (have liked olivewood for a while now - having seen scales from Mastro, Gary, Joe).

    The mere heft of the razor has me worried a bit - how to balance it - so I am now also entertaining thoughts about abalone or MOP...

    Thanks again!
    Ivo

    Great score Ivo I also like olivewood. If I were you, I'd consider metal liners to add some heft to the scales.
