Thread: New scale project

I decided to start on a new scale project while I anxiously await the arrival of my anvil/chasing hammer/brass rod to finish my last project.

These scales are going on a "The Artist" razor, Levering razor co.

Since the razor is called "the artist", I decided that the scales should be somewhat different than your average scales. I've seen some beautifully carved scales on here recently, and I have nowhere near that level of skill yet. Knowing that they are not as artistic as some, I humbly present the beginnings of my scales for the artist.







They are made from red oak craft board from Lowes (I know, not very exotic). The wedge is a piece of the maple I used for my last scales. I'm hoping that the difference in the two woods will become more apparent as I progress through the sandpaper grits and finish the scales.

Thanks for looking.
