    I have taken Bill`s advice and this is how it turned out ,I hope I understood correctly ,I have enough material to make two more Then I`m taking a break for a while,its starting to get to me a little ,anyway it will be going on fleaboy tomorrow after its honed and I atleast have one shave with it ,I haven`t shaved for three days on purpose so I can give it a good test
    The blade is a 7/8 W&B around 1870-80 the wedge is Australian Cook Town Iron Wood a very hard and dense timber the inside is finished in white, and yes they all line up(both sides no less):D
    Kind regards Peter
    The mark on the blade is a reflection

    I certainly can't take credit for any of your work, Peter. Those are absolutely amazing scales. Folks, I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to pull off what Peter just did. Especially when it's all done by eye. Outstanding, young man, outstanding!

    Wow!! Peter that razor is just outstanding, way to go. I have considered trying something like that but don't know if my tools will allow such intricate cutting.
