Scales / CA Finish
Well here are the scales I was making for my pride and joy BEFORE this: http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...6385-crap.html
Needless to say I was NOT happy, but alas with talking it through with you guys here I am feeling a little bit better.
I decided to try the CA finish on the scales I made.
NOTE: The blade in them is NOT the blade that is going to be used. (This is why it is held in only with a green paperclip)
Just wanted to see how they would look.
Thanks for looking!

Thanked: 3164Not bad at all Ed - nice finish, too. Everyone has different approaches, and I would have progressively narrowed the scales the nearer they got to the pivot, but hey, that's just me. Rivets look cool, too.
Regards,
Neil

CA is cool stuff and a pain in the rear to work with if u ask me. Scales look nice ED!
Edit: +1 on what Neil said. A taper would give a stream line look and make honing / striping more comfortable.Last edited by JoeLowett; 04-07-2013 at 01:01 AM.

That's nice !!....I like the contrast between the wood and the wedge
Are the scales Bocote or a Maple variety ?
Those pins'n'washers are super sweet too.

only real issue i have to complain about was i had everything glued to everything ..lol.. i ended up folding little pieces of paperplate and putting the 2sided tape ( the thicker type) on the plate that way i could hold the plate and pick up each scale and apply the glue on one side and the edges , worked out good and kept me and everything else super clean !!
