Wade & Butcher in African Ironwood

Just finished up another pre 1891 Wade & Butcher barbers notch. The original scales were cracked and not salvageable. There is a bit of pitting along the scale line, but it still polished up pretty well. Ended up going with an African Ironwood for the scales and a bone wedge.



Went ahead and just cut them down to the shape of the originals


before final shaping of the wedge

That is so beautiful.

 

Great job on that razor. I love W&B.

 

very nicely done

 

I can't believe the before and after, like night and day! Wow!

 

Veeeeeeery NICE !!!!

I really love the use of the Brass pin and the SS washer, I have been using that combo a bit now after seeing it on a early 1800's razor I kinda like the effect myself too

 

Nice!

 

Sweet!

 

Great work!

 

Thanks everyone!
