Another beauty. The washers are spectacular
Are you going to share this technique as well?
Thanks,
Bob
that razor is absolutely gorgeous! I love the shape of the scales, it has an 'organic' feel.
Bravo,

The washer technique?? You buy them like that. They are for beading. You find them in craft stores. I use gold plated leaf patterned washers sometimes if I want it looking really fancy. Maybe I'll post a pic.Quote:

Philadelph is right. I bought the washers here:

So I should be looking for "4 mm" bead caps?

I don't think that matters really. You almost always have to drill the hole so a 1/16" piece will fit. They are usually smaller than that.Quote:

the color variation is good to see on the photos below. The washers are copper, and the pins are brass. Generally the copper is not so shiny, like the brass.
