    Default First Restoration: 7/8" Joseph Elliot

    My first full restoration:

    7/8" Joseph Elliot. Real Hollow Ground Razor, Best Silver

    Scales: Custom from old olive wood cutting board.

    Pinned in brass with triple stacked washers.

    Scales were a little thicker than I prefer, but it was completely done with hand tools, saws, files, hand sanded. (But polished with a Drimmel).

    On to the next...Name:  WP_20131211_033.jpg

    Looks great. Nice job
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Lovely! Is that a faux-frameback grind?

    A really nice job, for a first time. Love the wood - olive is one of my all time favorites. Things to think about for your next restore - thinner scales, and make a wedge, not a spacer.
