got tired of playing with the wosti scales and cranked out a pattern for a depew style custom a friend of mine is making.
Here's the outline of the blade and the scale pattern.
enjoy.

yet another boring set of scales

I wish I could get my scales looking that plain and boring! 
I have a feeling that this will be something else, Something, Unique, a work of art, as well as a functional shaver
Won't say anything about how good it looks or anything like that, cos I fear that I'd run out of adjectives before it's done

From the blade outline, it is clear that there is some sort of horrible disfiguring chip at the heel of the razor. Simply send the whole thing my way, and I'll take it off your hands so it doesn't have to end up in a landfill somewhere....
Excellent as always!

Well spotted!
Wow I've never seen this on a scale. They call this filigree right? As a newbie restorer I'm always curious and fascinated in how one sources stuff like this. Would you care to share John or do you make it yourself?
You should go seeking out John's Prior works, There's some impressive metal work going on in those posts... Yeah, it's filigree, but I don't know of too many others around who have ability and patience to actually do this sort of work except for Mr JohnC 
Mind you, what I'm wondering is who did the blade? Seeing as John said it was "a friend"

Thanks! I wouldn't classify this pattern as filigree, more like standard vine and leaf scrollwork. The Wosti project has something closer to actuall filigree work.
As for the bladesmith.....all will be revieled in time.
edit: Razorcon 3 will be held in Ashville, N.C. on June the 5th. This project is slated to be a door prize at the event. The event is free. Doc has a posting about it in one of the other straight forums here on B&B. Go Check It Out!!

Ok, this little fella is done.
Time for it to fly away.
The Blade smith for this razor was Charlie Lewis.
Charlie is makeing some wonderful blades and it was a great joy to get to work with such a cool craftsman.
Hope ya'll enjoy!!
