    Default Orange Dovo

    My daughter got the chickenpox, so I have have stayed at home with her a couple days and got some time to finish this one.

    Razor is a 6/8 half hollow vintage Dovo that I got from johnmrson last week, the scales she came in was just fine, but I wanted to give it my own touch.

    Scales are Hunter Orange G10 with green G10 wedge, pins are nickel silver and brass washers.

    I think it turned out quite cool









    Thanks for looking

    Turned out better than cool! You did a great job with that. John has some beautiful blades for sale. I hope your daughter is feeling a bit better.

    I love Hunter orange.

    Really nice scales and wedge combo. Quite striking!

    Thanks guys, yes, she's much better now (my daughter )

    I've been playing with the thought of making some scales in bright colors with a partially open wedge for a while, just haven't had a blade that I felt was "the right one" but when I opened the package with this razor the first thing she told me was that she wanted a new bright dress

    Those scales look stunning! What thickness of G10 did you use? 1/8 or 3/16"
