The scales are African Blackwood
Sent by Mike T. Thanks Mike, where ever the hell you are ?
The finish is Minwax polycrylic, gloss water based finish, being any oil base finish wouldn't dry on this very dense and oily wood.
Pinned with brass collars and pins.

Ive also finished the candle holder brush handles in urathane, installed the magnets, and filled the inside of the handles with duro glass (autobody filler) since the cavities were quite deep.
Only thing left, is to grind out a bit of the filler to the desired depth for the knots, and get them epoxied in.
Wich will be done here shortly [emoji6]

Holy Hannah!
You are a "machine"!!!! How many projects have you turned out in the last 3 months?
Keep up the great job!!!
I might have to send you some of my stuff..... You do outstanding work!

African Black has become one of my fav woods (I have a ton of it) even better than most ebonys.

Thank you!!
That means alot coming from the greatest brush maker I know.
I can only imagine how they'll look when they bloom.
Ive reknotted two other handles with these knots, and I love um.
And they load incredibly well.
I wish I knew who makes them, and what size they were.

This is how their pakaged.

Dont really know... Alot
Ran out of fingers n toes.
I only had a couple razors to my name in January of this year, 1 brush , a Semogue 1305.
I now have over 50 razors in my rotation, that I've done for myself.
And haven't taken count on brushes. And I still havent got around to making a Strop. I was sent the material to do so by a very fine gentlemen from the forum here. But told me not to tell anyone. Plus I've made 7 anvils from railroad track. And restored some razors for a local barber.

And now I need to build a razor stand for the shave den, cause my other is over packed.

I'd be more than happy to help ya out with yours.
I love doing this stuff.
