New Wapi Scales
After using one of my stock Wapi razors and realizing just how unbalanced it was, I decided to do a re-scale. The new scales are Chakte Viga and I used the removed scales for a template. Made a brass spacer out of bar stock and pinned it all together with brass rod. Finish scales with some tongue oil. This wood will darken a bit with age but will keep it's orange color.

Nice work!!!! I think the washers set it off, and make it yours.... Great idea

I think I saw something like that at a bead shop... I may have some in my wire working box.... Have to dig that up again it seems :D

Beautiful job! I really like the thin shape and color of the scales.
