Laser Woven Root Scales UPDATED.

[thirdeye]

Well today I decided to see if I could make a woven thru and thru root pattern set of scales with the laser. First I created the pattern and programmed the laser. Placed a piece of Gray Granite Acrylic material in the laser, set the parameters and focused the beam (red dot) Then I shot the piece and 1 minute 53 seconds later the two pieces where done. (Note the reflection of the B&B logo on the laser lid). Next I lined out the rest of the pattern for all the hand back carving and filing.
Part to will show the carving in process, sanding, polishing and of course the finished razor. This should be done in the next couple days.

They are nice and stiff and should stand up well to the riggers of shaving and protecting the blade.

Very cool. I am eagerly awaiting the pics of the finished product

If you can do that, surely a set snake patterned scales is doable...

Really, really cool.
That laser must be a real blast to use!
