    Default Some New Camelthorn Scales

    After seeing some scales made by gssixgun out of camelthorn (which were stunning) I just had to get some of that wood. I finally decided to cut some slabs and found a couple pieces that looked like they might turn out interesting. The grain structure of this wood is quite striking IMHO. The scales almost look as though they aren't even wood. I still have to put a finish on them, but wanted to share since I liked the look of them. Not really sure if I want to put them on the razor I was planning on. Might have to finish up a few other razors and see what one would look better in them.

    Very interesting looking wood.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Looks great. Like the two tone.
