    Default my last scales :D

    hey,

    as the scalemaking isnt that much fun for me i just decided to stop doing. My third scales i've done will be my last. Maybe later i will do new ones.
    The blade is an a. Meunier which took rust in the thumb notch by the original celluloid scales. I wanted to do the scale that way that the thumb notch is free.

    Well it might not be much fun for you but you did a very nice job. I like the design, and those pins are cool.

    Nicely done. You've done an excellent job. Even if it's not your cup of tea you can be proud of the three you have done.

    Well, you may be wasting a talent.

    Nice design on the scales. I particularly like the way you Exposed the thumb notch. Good choice!

    I think there is a future set of scales for a few of my razors with similar exposure of the thumb notch.
