Hey guys, this is the thread for my first straight razor project: custom scales.
I want to start out with something relatively easy. So I'm going for some wooden scales with no fancy artwork.
The wood I've chosen is Cocobolo:

Read about the finishing with wax, gonna try to finish the scales with furniture wax.
This 5/8" blade will be the cutting part:

Nothing fancy, but it is a really nice blade :medvl:
Pins are ordered so I hope to get all my goodies next week and can get started.
Will post updates for anyone who cares :P
