Thread: Anchor Brand razor in Cherry scales

Thanks for your insight on the varying washers

It is not on a slope. The edges are all rounded but the sides are flat. Here is another photo of the same style in better light. These were all spoken for, the purchaser wanted the wedge rough cut to shape and the wedge and scale pinhole drilled. I have the wedge double stick taped into the scales and then I wrap the area to be drilled with painters tape to protect the finish. I use a set of calipers to measure the width of the scales, half that, adjust the calipers and mark the drill point on the tape. It may sound like a lot of work to simply drill a hole, but after you spend that many hours making them, you don’t want to screw them up by drilling the hole off center.

Another beauty Dave! And I just LOVE cherry!!

What is that wood on lower left.
It sings to me

Thanks for the info on scale drilling...Prep often takes more time and work than the tasdk...But we usually learn the importance of this...THE HARD WAY

That is Lacewood. I have a Henckels that I put in another set. I have 2 or 3 more sets curing in epoxy right now. it takes 4 days to cure but they will be ready to come out of the dust free chamber later today. Then they get wet sanded and gloss coated again. The finish would be the equivalent of 60 or 70 coats of shellac or urethane.

Got the package today...
I love it. Looks better than the pic.

Can't wait to give it a try.

Thanx
