    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 Views: 180 Size: 53.7 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818553.482174.jpg Views: 162 Size: 49.6 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818561.675262.jpg Views: 165 Size: 48.7 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818569.216677.jpg Views: 164 Size: 28.1 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818577.077472.jpg Views: 163 Size: 29.0 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393818584.469431.jpg Views: 162 Size: 47.4 KB

    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...
