I thought I'd take a shot on making some scales too. I got some bog oak that I started out with. I hope to fit a W&B blade that I have salvaged from a chip in the new scales;

The blade
Still need to coat the scales though, haven't fully decided on how yet... Epoxy.. CA... last thing I saw was Autocoat and Nail laquer... so many options...
I like those bog oak scales. It gives a kind of "fairy tale look" to that razor! :tu
Bog oak screams for a natural matte finish. If I were you I'd go with linseed or tung oil.
Oh how I wish you had said that a few hours ago... I didn't even think of it myself, and I have a jar of linseed in a drawer... Started coating it with CA earlier tonight, and am NOT pleased with the result so far :cry:Quote:
