    Pretty but I see no reason to go any further with it at this time. Could be shorter with a two inch blade and still work. make both edges the same distance from center line, lots...

    Like yours, it can slice what I need out of any mug or saucer. Not much good for coffee though.

    Ran out of A+B epoxy and decided this was not a good day to drive....White out since yesterday afternoon...Sky Cam online video of the area.

    All this time I've been putting soap in the bottom of my rice bowl like a commoner.

    Mike those scales already look great. That gold is really going to make them stand out.

    I took my daughter to the antique shop yesterday to see a gentleman I bought a couple razors from a few years ago. His razor collection is in storage and unfortunately he never seems to be able to get it. I showed him some before/after pics of Mike's work and he was blown away!

    When I told him about soaking the horn in neatsfoot oil he asked something I had wondered about myself. Would neatsfoot help tortoise shell scales? Seems like it would.

    I finished up the scales for MrZ, and pinned it up with brass rod and some of Kenny's collars.

    I'm totally stoked on the seamless, invisible, repair. The Big Oak is the shizzle, for black horn repair.

    Damn nice repair Mike. Hard to believe they were broken. You sure found a great way to repair those.

    Would you say the bog oak works better than horn in a repair like this? Did you dye the scales?
