All my respect for the guys out there who put the hands on

While this is a little OFF TOPIC remember about your Dad's hands.

She recently passed on, but I still love the message!

Looks nice my friend Are those Domed Washers? Also, what Inlace Acrylic did you use? Just Wondering

Cool looking scales, and a classy blade. Nice combo indeed. Guitar pick wedge seems like it would be nice and thin. Neat idea,, borrowed..

Hey Roy, thanks for the nod. Those are the "Green and Gold" #WBIA49 Inlace Acrylester.
Yes domed washers.

Great job on the Henckels - Cool looking material for the scales and the scales have a nice shape as well. Nice work man!

Man! You fellas are doing some fine work!

Got's lots going, but hope to join you soon! Well-done!

This has been a frustrating project as it's for a friend who did some work for me in a 'barter trade'.

It's my very first attempt at using horn and it's a big razor.

I took my time and was very careful about the design and laid out and cut out with the two blanks taped together, the holes drilled and ready to be sanded every thing was looking great. I'd mocked everything up and as said once again all looked good.

Once rough sanded down to about .090 I started the final sanding up to 1K I then put the horn in some Neatsfoot Oil over night. When I'd drained the excess oil back into the container I found that the back scale had warped.#%^&^*()&^$*#%^@%^@%!

During the mock up before final sanding the blade sat about 1/8" 'Proud'/above the scales/just like I wanted. However after the warping the blade sits as you can see.

On a positive note/it honed up nice with a very thin edge.

I do hope that the owner will like the work.

The owner ABSOLUTELY LOVES the beauty & craftsmanship applied to these razors. I hope the twin will bring you many great shaves once you get it back from Glen.

The difficult part is deciding which one to shave with first.

I'm loving all this work 😃

I have yet another question. How doyou guys seal wood scales? Or is it not necessary?
