Ok folks, last update shots before final pinning. Scales are done and 6 coats of tung oil sanded. Once pinned I will sand flush the bone wedge. Next pics will be the finished product.

Can I make a suggestion?
take the razor out of the scales, and mock it up with a piece of wood the same thickness as the tang. Then sand your wedge before pinning. Bolt it up with microfasteners to secure it while sanding. That way, if you ding the scales you can still take it apart and re-finish them before you put your final pins in.
Just a suggestion....
Looks good so far!

Thanks! My goal was to show a step by step process. Looking back it could of been way more in depth in pictures. I have a bunch I didn't post but I will be more detailed on my next restore. I will hopefully finish it up tomorrow and will post finished pics.
