Simmons hardware near wedge with broken scales. New bubinga scales thanks to a co-worker. After I set the blade in the scales I honed and shave tested. A+ shave.

Bubinga is a great tone wood. I bet she'll really sing to when you're shaving. :boohoo:
Looks like it might be awkward to hold. Did you finish the wood?
It's gonna be said.... I like the wood/finish alright, but the scales are just twice-sized.
Buzz the things down the middle, make a set for this blade and another. JMO.
Again, good job, just way too big.
Yeah they are a little big. I thought I would try it out for a while before I decide if I am going to make them smaller. Actually it is not that bad shaving. A little different stropping though. I will give it a few more shaves to see how I like before I decide. I used oil on the wood as the finish prodigy.
Well, Everyone knows I don't make scales. yet am not afraid to critique them.
In making scales, you are way ahead of me! :tu
