    Default Boker Bicycle gets new wood scales!

    Here is my first scales that i make without mimicking the original scales of a razor!
    I am pretty happy with the result... The wedge has some imperfections but doesnt bother me ! And yes! Square edges! Love scales with square edgesName:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818530.744344.jpg

    I know! The scales are not shinny! Its wood! I like them somewhat rough

    Good job. That's a very striking design. What kind of wood is that?

    Nice. Actually had a bike race last Saturday instead of flea marketing to see the dude about the blades...
