Seems that the "honey" horn is somewhat hard to come by for some reason. You do some great work Steve! Very PRO!

Willis, thank you very much. If you want some pretty good horn, here's some:

Buffalo Horn Scales 6” x 1 1 2” x 3 8” Pair 5404 205 204 | eBay

I told that seller I have advised people to buy his products. If you want bone, he sells bleached white bone which is very nice:

Bleached Bone Scales 6” x 1 1 2” x 3 8” Pair Knife Making Slabs 5404 206 204 | eBay

Here is the same bone I used on a W&B razor:

Not too worried about it...... Bought in a razor lot. Would have been a nice razor to finish up. I know it isn't in the greatest of shape to begin with.....But...You never know until you try.....

That's what I try to stress o people who have never tried things before. You never know unless you try. If you try & succeed, you have accomplished something but if not, you can never say you didn't try!

It should turn out pretty nice!

Thanks Mike!

Well said👍
