Galatea in Curly Koa

[Doc226]

Wanted to show these scales I made for this wonderful Galatea razor

They are Curly Koa with a white G10 liner, Koa wedge and a CA finish. Pins are silver with domed washers.

Very nice, I like the wood/white contrast. They go well together

Spectacular. I've seen ivory and horn a lot , but these are very classy

Galatea's popping up everywhere these days. I like the thinness and shape of the Koa. Looks like it would fit well in the hand. From what I understand Koa is pretty special stuff. I need to do something with mine.

That's beautiful. Thanks for the pics.

I like the way the wedge looks in-between the G10.

Yeah right dude. If that were true, then I'd already have one by now.

You are a wonderful craftsman. If I've ever thought I don't like wooden scales the thought is forever erased.

My Hart has Koa scales, but they surely don't look like that. Maybe I should let you tune them up.

Same exact thought here before I saw this "precious".

I have always been a big fan of koa. It is wonderful wood that can have breath-taking figure and color variations.
I love both the color and contrasting materials used on those scales. Beautifully executed!

Being originally from Hawaii, I am very fond of koa wood. Try looking up Curly Koa. That is rarer and more expensive, of course!
