Here is my first attempt at horn scales. The razor is a 6/8 Dorko 114 I've had for some time which was in a set of homemade acrylic scales. The wedge is antique paper micarta and the hardware is nickel silver / stainless. I tried to keep the wedge a little less tapered than I normally do, while still having it fulfill the duty of "wedge". My self-critique on these is that the tang-end of the scales is a touch short, due to a bit of oversanding (still getting used to the speed at which my new stationary belt sander removes material). I sanded the horn with 80,120,150,220,320,400,600,800,1000,2000 then buffed with white, red and green buffing compound and blue magic polish.
I took the photos with my phone so they're slightly distorted close-ups. Let me know if you guys have any pointers.
