Love the look of the translucent horn. Nice find.
Gotta say that’s is pretty
Nice, stuff. !
Lovely color.
3.5mm ish.
I'll show it again once the blade is seated :)
I'm struggling mentally with the wedge at the moment.
It has to look drop dead amazing but not blingy. The razor is really special.
Looking good. I would say some streaked black horn for the wedge. The streaks may or may not show through the translucent.
Maybe. ..The problem with translucent horn for a wedge is that it will be black due to lack of light . There is lining and collars to consider also. I might just try to keep the whole thing light green and silver. Until i start doing and not thinking i won't really know ..
Thanks Shaun
My vote would go traditional. Lead
I think that lead would be too heavy because the wedge needs to be thick because the tang is very thick...also i will line the wedge with a metal, more weight.
I'll tell you what i'm thinking now after my epiphany in the shower .
I think that green and gold belong together. So i will line the wedge with brass and use brass collars and pins.
The wedge has to be light in colour because the scales are a bit muddy in colour. White bone for a wedge or ideally a piece of yellowy white mammoth tusk which i dont have so forget that..
Still thinking though :)
Thanks for the input guys it does help
