Thread: Here's the Kauri One

I am removing all material that Lerch may find offensive or construe as a personal attack... bye bye, now...

Wow Bill. You're really tempting the souls of the weak with these beauties. I keep having to remind myself of what's keeping me in this hobby every time I see one of your beauties.

Justa quick question for you Bill..could you substitute brass for the aluminium liners you use on your scale and if you can how could you finish it to preserve the shine?

This maybe a strange question but i would like to use some of the materials I have at hand.

Just curious thats all...hope you dont mind,

cheers Bill...

lovely razor there btw , again another project we can all aspire too.

thanks again,simon

I am so happy that there isnt any 8/8's on here right now...I am REALLY trying to perminantly cut down on my intense razor buying as I cant travel with all these beauties so they only get used on weekends. I am limited to 8/8 Friodurs during the week (I know poor me).

Thank you Bill

I have a very similar razor with W&B blade that Bill made for me and it is fantastic. The scales are far better in the flesh.
Someone should snap this beauty up quickly. The wood is 3850yrs old, just imagine..much older than Cleopatra..empires have risen and fallen in this time.

Outstanding work Bill....again.

That is beautiful wood. Nice job as usual Bill.

Here's the Wikipedia entry on the wood/trees.

I'm looking for wood that could match this razor if anyone has a sample. I'm looking for a piece approx. 1.5" square and 3" long.

thanks,

Matt

Please do say if you have anything. I'll try (no camera and no experience shooting razors, but I have friends who might help) to provide more pictures if that is neccessary.
