First attempt at making scales and some other projects
So Ive had a busy weekend.
Ive had my first try at making scales. Ive had this James Johnsons sitting around for a while with broken scales, so it seemed like a good candidate. Before this weekend Ive never pinned a razor before, and havent 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 Ive got to: Indian rosewood finished with Danish oil and renaissance wax polish with a bone wedge.
