Can I have them if they're bone ?
Hope you didn't bust your sawblade on that Jarrah
Kinda hard stuff eh?
Very innovative on the washer manufacture. Off to a good start.
You're next one looks like a bit of a challenge but might be a diamond in the rough.
It says 'THE TORRY RAZOR CO' on the tang, and somthing ' ...TER MASS' bellow that.
The old scales are plastic (did the hot pin test)
And thanks

I like it. Can you elaborate on how you made the washers and pins?
It looks like you used the dremel as a make shift lathe...am I correct?Last edited by Lt.Arclight; 09-14-2008 at 02:11 AM.

Very nice work, sir!
The jarrah wood looks gorgeous. Presumably, it is one of your native hardwoods

hey I must take credit for the trendy shape of the scales
their squared at the end ( my idea), love the Jarrah!! Wooden scales are one of the nicest looking scales wouldn't you agree gentlemen?
