Great job, I love the way those scales look. The razor looks like it just came from the factory, very nice.

Looks great!

hi_bud_gl;

I think you did excellent work there.

Those scales look elegant and the shape and color are totally fitting for that razor.

My only suggestion would be (next time) that you more heavily round off the edges of the scales (on the outside only, of course). This will contribute to the razor looking both sleeker and lighter.

Wow nice work in did! +1 on the "round" issue! But they sure are a beauty! Feeling tempted to own a Joseph R.!

I have access to many types o acrylics / polymers (doesnt know how to spell it right)..theres one very special that its very used nowadays by the architects and designers..dont have the name of that! But i will try to get some samples of it and make some scales (my first ones) to a wade and butcher that im restoring (polishing mostly

)..they say that this material cold be worked has wood (..) lets see about that!

Very nice I like the black. I am working on my second set of scales and I think that I will take the advice of rounding the scales more as well.

Nice tight work Sham !!!

I am seeing a bit of white color swirls on the straight down shot does that show up more in person????
Did you use sheets of acrylic or did you cut the blanks from a block ????

Thanks for sharing...
