Neither of you should consider any of the work you have both posted as being totally substandard. Heck, the meer fact that some of the materials used to produce the finished scales you have aren't even accessable and is tribute enough to the innovation and determination both of you have to continue producting the great looking scales both of you have presented here.
Just for the record, these are the second set of scales I had to make for this razor. The first set produced a nice crack in the final sanding stage and I had to start over. This seems to be one draw back to Amboyna. So if you decide to use this wood, make sure you have enough to make more than one set of scales.
The finish on this razor is 10 coats of Varnish, sanded to 2000 grit every 2 coats. Finally hand rubbed with Light rubbing compound, two coats of furniture past wax and a final buffing. The inside backing is brick colored with an Ebony wedge.
Enjoy!

Thank you for the kind words Ray. We`re sure trying to do our very best!
And it`s someway comforting to know that even you - now and then - suffer from the "cracked scales syndrome"
Still hav`nt tried the woods you sent (payment recieved?) but are waiting for the right moment. Would hate to spoil it so a bit of planning is needed.
Thanks so much Ray!

Matt,
Good eye! Yes, these are a little thicker than normal, about 1/32" on the wood and the same on the liner. I have had to add this to Amboyna because of its propensity to cracking and splitting. It adds a little bulk to the razor itself, but because of its light density there seems to be no added weight and the balance remains ok.

This night I had the most terrible dream..I will try to describe it the best way I can.. :
Thunder and lightning all over..And this unholy voice
" Send it to me...send it..seeeend it to meeeeee bwahahahahhaaaaa "
"Dr. Ralfson I presume?"
"Bwhaaa..amboyana... seeeeeend it..."
"Ralfy ? Is that you? What the f... are you doing inside my head? "
"Torbs `ol chum...listen to my voice...senditsenditsenditsendit!"
"Stop it buddy..! And why are you wearing that stupid looking outfit...It might look good on Harry Potter, but on you? "
"Darn `ol chap..now you hurt my feelings...I`m kinda crying inside now"
"Easy now Ralfy...everything will be allright.A wise man once told me this : Have patience and the universe will provide all we need. "
"Thank Torbs...guess you wont send it then? No? Will ya..?"
"Listen Doc..Once the Barbers Rattler and I have had some quit moments together, she might want to take a trip to the UK"
"So I get to touch it?"
"erhhhh easy now Ralfy.."
"Well at least I get to see how a true master crafted these wonderfuly detailed scales..right?"
"Spot on `ol chum...just have a bit of patience"
"ohhhhh I`ll try then..Guess I`ll go and tattoo some bums then.."
"You do that my friend..and stay away from my mind from now on!"
"I will Torbs, I promise.......Ray.....send it to me ...send it to meeeeeeeeee bwahahahahahaha"
Regards gents
