Razor Carousel

Thanks for all the kind words!

I'll try to rollup all of the responses below:

I'll get the materials together to make some more. I need to build a table saw jig so the angles come out more consistently..

I do love the OCs, it may be just me, but I seem get better shaves with them.

As far as size, I was a bit constrained by the medicine chest cubbie I was putting it in. The heads if rotated a little don't touch as much as my picture shows, you'll notice they are a bit askew. I may bump the size a bit more on the next iteration though, as I agree more spacing would look better.

I did think about a double decker, I would need to cut grooves instead of holes on the lower level, I'm not sure how I would consistently do that. I would also need to shrink the size of the inner ring to avoid the handles from the upper ring, so it would hold fewer razors. I only have 1 more razor on my wish list so I went with the 8 (although I can lay at least 2 more on the bottom)...
 
So for some reason when my eyes read Carousel my mind conjured up a picture of some kind of razor Ferris wheel. I was off at a razor carnival for some time. Looks great though!
 
I took the feedback that was offered and made up six more razor carousels. They are a bit bigger than the first one I made, but I think they look better. The jig to cut an octagon evenly turned out to be surprisingly easy, so these are symmetrical to boot! They are 7" wide by 6 7/8" tall. They are finished with General sealer and finish.

Number 1 is curly maple with a laminated cherry bottom
Number 2 is curly maple

Nice woodworking.....

Every time I get near a saw I cut myself worse than when I shave so I admire anyone who can work with wood and produce nice items :001_smile
 
When I got my third razor, my wife said "you need to get one of those carousel thingy's". I told her to find me one. Would ya look at that!
 
I saw something very similar to this at a flea market and was told that it was an old pipe holder. I didn't buy it, but I thought it would be perfect for razors. It didn't have the lazy susan though, which would make all the difference!

Nice job!
