Completed Jayaruh #127 and 128

Silvertip badger

Game Changer synthetic

Jayaruh #128 and 129 Begun

From the same piece of wood, I am making two handles and two razor stands. The handles will be patterned off of one of my favorites, #90.

After an afternoon of work, this is what I got. I will revisit these with my Dremel to make the shapes a little more refined.

Update: November 8, 2016

The handles have their final shape now.

JR#128 is getting the Game Changer knot.
