This is made with beautiful olive wood that I got from @Tim Shettlesworth. I have to remember to buy the mach 3 razor heads.

This is made with red mallee that I got from @Mike1950 awhile ago. It was covered in wax so I used the boiling method to get the wax off and it worked like a charm. I also did one large pour which was not recommended for the epoxy I used with no pressure pot but it's not leaving the house so I don't mind the bubbles.

This was made from spalted myrtle that I got from @Gary Schuler. The spalt line was the definite difference between hard and soft wood. I probably should've stabilized it but didn't.

What finish did you use on the razor handle?

Just ca glue. It's the only thing I use on small items that will be handled a lot. This has about 12 coats of thin ca.
 
Okay awesome! Everything looks great barb. Love the epoxy vase as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
 
Congrats on your factory work! You do work in a factory, right? You sure are turning out nice stuff! Chuck
 
Great looking projects showing off great wood! Really like that little myrtle box, the colors with the finish is great. But I think the favorite is the olive. Simple little turn, but olive has such beautiful colors. That tumbler is pretty neat (even with a few bubbles). Like the "mixed media" rim and the waterfall down the side.

Lol! I know how you feel. I had to edit my original post twice after noticing major typos once it was posted.
