CS Fillie in walnut burl scales
Lately as I run across boards with some burl in them I've been setting them aside for scales. Awhile back I was planning some walnut and at the end of the board some nice burl showed, so I thought to myself Hmmmm scales?

Very pretty wood! What's the spacer made out of? I'm going to be making a walnut set and I'm debating on what to make the spacer with and I like the contrast you have.

That looks sweet!! The scales compliment the blade well. Those Fillys are great shavers.
Nice job!

What's the spacer made of? The spacer is a maple wedge with 2 degrees per side. The wedge was already glued in and pinned when the stain was applied. I wanted a bit of red tint to the wood so I used minwax sedona red stain and the maple wedge picked it up. I finished up with 4 coats of polyurethane.

Great job. The scales look very nice. I just finished honing a filarmonica razor today and I can tell its going to be a fantastic shaver.

Very nicely done!
As mentioned above the wood compliments the blade very nicely. The pinning looks great also. That is a razor to be proud of. I'm sure you will enjoy your shaves with it.
