I'll keep this short and sweet. I have a special razor needing some new clothes. I want a set of tigers eye scales, so I need someone who works with gemstones and can make me such a set of scales, also have the ability to get tigers eye in such a size.

If such a member is out there please contact me via PM to discuss details.

P.S I prefer brown tigers eye for starters, and depending how they turn out, I might ask for red and blue tigers eye scales in the future.

Thanks

I really can't help you but being a mineral collector I can tell you scales from stone aren't a great idea. They will be heavy and throw the balance of the razor off and to do them thin enough so they aren't heavy is tough because the material will be very brittle and tend to break very easily. Drilling the holes for the pins will require special equipment and the thinner the scales the more likely they will crack. Also you can't just buy some sandpaper and smooth the stuff out like wood. They do have special abrasives for stone carving but most of it uses special equipment. I've never seen it to fit a dremmel or similar. You would need to find someone who does semiprecious stone carving.
