So I’ve had a busy weekend.
I’ve had my first try at making scales. I’ve had this James Johnson’s sitting around for a while with broken scales, so it seemed like a good candidate. Before this weekend I’ve never pinned a razor before, and haven’t done any wood work since school 25 years ago. So after a lot of work (and a few mistakes – like the coping saw slipping and leaving marks in the bottom of the scales; and leaving the wood rather thick) this is where I’ve got to: Indian rosewood finished with Danish oil and renaissance wax polish with a bone wedge.
