W&B Chopper w/ Spalted Myrtle

This little project was murder. It was almost pointless to try and save it, but it shaves now. There is pitting that I just couldn't get rid of. Scales are finished in CA, pinned with brass and a micarta spacer. It's a bit blade heavy but easy to shave with and is in my rotation at the moment.

 

Those spalted myrtle scales look great! Fits the blade perfectly!

 

That is an amazing piece of wood. WOW! Phenomenal work as usual!

 

Au contraire. I think it was definitely worth saving, and those scales really gave it new life!

 

It looks great Dennis, congrats on a beautiful addition to your rotation :drool :drool Hmm, maybe I should keep my Friodur and send it to you for some new scales :signs002

 

it is amazing what fungus can do to wood. your finished razor has incredible looks. nice work!

 

That sure is an amazing set of scales! Very well done!

 

Good work. I am tentatively slinking my way toward rescaling one of mine.

 

WOW! Sensationel scales - fantastic wood! How is this wood celled in German?

 

Once again a very nice result.

 

Once again Dennis, verrrry nice!

 

Hi Harry,

You may get more nephews before the day is out.

 

excellent ,you certainly achieve a wonderfull finish on all your scales
Kind regards Peter

 

Beautiful job on those scales.

 

It is so nice that I had to look up 'spalted' on google! Don't have the gear to work with found wood (which I assume you do?), but I'm green with envy of your skill.
