    So you start with something like this...

  6. Fantastic! I'm a city guy, I'm not very good at whittling. But that sure is nice.

  8. I think that it would be a good looking handle if "whittling" marks were left on the handle: a more rustic look.
  9. Thanks for the shout out DarkBulb!

    Also, thanks for the kind words guys.

    Jayaruh, I actually thought about that. I kind of wish I would have left the whittling marks on there. I was planning on using a metal stamp set and stamping some words on the side which is why I decided to make it smooth but it didn't quite work out. If I ever do another one which is very likely I'll def leave the whittle marks.

    Thanks for sharing those links GDCarrington! Some very nice work!
  10. Very cool matched set..:)

  12. I've been laying low the past few months mostly because I've been growing a beard but I'm definitely going to be on more often now.
  13. Well maybe we'll see that razor in the SOTD threads ;)
  14. You do shave your neck, don't you?

    Haha! Yep. Still traditionaly wet shave my neck... I think other than my beard another reason I haven't been as active is my "AD's" really died down...

    Definitely should see some SOTD pics coming!
