Thread: My Puma's almost done...

Well, I had some time to work on my Puma this weekend. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out.

The scales are zebrawood. (This I'm sure will cause some interspecies issues that I'd rather not explore...) I patterned them after the originals.

The spacer is brass. These photos are from just after I pinned it. The spacer wasn't shaped quite right, so I have ground it down a bit with my Dremel. Now I have to refinish the wood in that spot... Doh.

I pulled the Puma logo off of the scales and embedded it in a small pocket of CA. The scales are finished in Tung Oil.

The blade centers nicely, but the pivot isn't consistently tight when opening the razor.

I'm pretty happy overall. I'll be honing this one up soon to see how it shaves. Still haven't decided whether I want to keep it, mainly because I have more razors than I need right now...

Comments welcome.
