    Wow Andrew!!
    Both are stunning! The veneer looks like a perfect match for my Bruno razor.
    24 or 26 mm Tuxedo knot and we're home free.
    Thanks again for the fine work and attention to detail.

    Boy, outback! That razor turned up sweet. Who would have thought those scales would take on such a cool look!

    Awesome handles, Andrew!

    Great work, Gents! Thanks for sharing!

    Wow, great job Mike. That razor looks great! Sorry about the PO as ive delt with the same thing. The road behind me and on the other side of my street habe the same numbers. Ive got to know those folks and we all habe traded phone numbers. Its happen more than once, sad to say. Cant wait to give that razor a try!

    And those brushes look cool to Andrew. I love the first one. Im not into all the colors of the other but hey, its not mine. The first one with the wood grains look very nice.

    Still waiting for a finish to dry so I made these scales tonight. Still needs final shaping but you get the idea. Imperial Razor, 6/8 in Caribbean Rosewood. Dark wood wedge. Got plans for making scales for a W&B Near Wedge tomorrow, if the weather gets above freezing.

    Very nice scales and their shape goes well with the blade spine. Thanks!

    Thanks Richard. I got lucky. I made these for a W&B but when putti g them together to test fit, the blade sat up too high and was even a greater angle. Just didnt look right. I asked the opinion of one of my mentors and he gave me some ideas but i figured that i liked the shape so dug up a different blade. It fit nice. Even at the wedge, no extra gap. Like i made these for it. I still need to shape it a little more so it might change so but not much.
    Just waiting for the weather to warm up.

    They look great!
    Those nylon washers should be on both sides, Jerry! Keeps those mock-up screws from scratching the scales.
