Sunday Night


Hermes in Walnut scales - GFT Sandalwood - NF2213 - Alum - Jovan Musk

My 1st attempt at scales making. Alas it photographs better than it performs, the blade touches the side so they will be replaced, the cause was an error with a sanding belt. I've ordered some nice looking acrylic to use instead but next time I'll just be a little more careful while thicknessing.

The shave, well that was good

Awesome day today out shooting with Mrs Str8Shooter and Lil Gal Str8Shooter. After cleaning weapons and then finishing the scales for the Twin W&B wedge's I'm working on for Nervin and myself(shh I want it to be a secret when he is healed up from surgery) I decided to go into an earthy sandalwood coma! Great shave off the ol' 70 1/2. Looks like y'all had a great sun also. Grant you remain in my family's prayers.
Nite all I have an early work day in the morning.

Almost forgot to thank Jacketch for planting the sandalwood bug back on me!!!
