W&B American #2 of the 7 day set
G'day all,
a bit more traditional with my 3rd resto.
This is going to be the 2nd member of my 6/8" to 7/8" 7 day set I intend to make up the justify my RAD
Blade - Wade & Butcher - American Razor 13/16" square point
I wanted to retain the aged character so only gave the blade a hand polishing with Autosol metal polish (no sanding)
Scales - I made the scales from light horn slabs (from robsbits on Ebay in the UK)
Cheeted & used the linisher at work for the bulk material removal the wet & dry from grits 320, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 3000 & 4000 then a polishing with a eucalyptus & bees wax wood polish to see how it geos
Wedge – this is black horn from the original broken scale to keep a bit more of the original memories, probably should have used lead or brass for the extra weight to balance it but I like the contrast of the black
Pins etc – Brass coned washers, brass thrust washer made from 10 thou shim, brass pins.
Honing - still pops arm hairs but yet to rehone it fully and shave but I can see a new favourite comming into play.
