For some odd masochistic reason I wanted to do something in cross-cut Zebrano. Why I decided on a shaving kit (which means turning three different items) I'll never know. Zebrano is HARD, and loves to tear out if you try to cut cross-grain, so I have lots of mementoes of failed attempts. The secret (as your wife will tell you) is to go slowly and keep everything razor sharp. Looks the dog's danglies once done though, doesn't it? Sealed all over with CA, so should hold up to wet use okay.
