    I made these scales to look older. It was modeled after an old teak side rail pulled off a yatch. I aged the Teak but making some very fine ground brass and embedding it into the wood then oxidised it and sealed it. I aged the peens and ozidised them as well as the brass lining on the wedge.

    Quite the armada of razors you have there. Each razor has it's own unique characteristics, but I love the scales on post #3, as well as the scales on #5. Number 5 looks like it has so much texture even though I know it's smooth to the touch. I wouldn't have thought to do that myself, but I totally love that you did.

    All very nice, but I really like how the scales match the spine work on #6
