Vintage Japanese with Cherry Blossom Ivory
I originally posted this razor for an ID. But after doing the Jos. Elliot in Ivory I thought it should have been Cherry Blossoms on the scales. But Cherry Blossoms are more Japanese so I contacted my client and made him an offer he couldn't refuse just to get this razor so I could build the scales I had in my head. I broke down the razor , eliminated the new scales I had made and whipped up another set in Ivory. Seems more fitting I think.
The carving was done in 1/8th inch and some of it in 1/16th. Some areas of the petals allow light to pass through. I was going for a more delicate look compared to the Jos. Elliot I just did.
Also, considering the size you can see it's about twice the width of a standard pencil and three of the blossoms fit under a dime.
Original shots and my re-do.
Here too not every ones cup of tea but I just had to do it for fun. It's mine now so I can do what I please with it.
Also,, it's 3 AM , I just wrapped it up and there is some gunk from the wax here and there. Overlook it please and I promise I'll get it removed tomorrow!
