    You cleaned up that chopper nicely! Excellent work. Did you replace the original scales?

    Thanks to all for the nice comments! It was a lot of fun to work on this blade...I love the W&B FBU's...especially the heavy near wedge blades like this one. They are such great shavers!

    The scales shown are not the original horn...they were used for mock-up purposes. The original scales are horn and are being restored by the owner.

    That is gorgeous. Maybe the owner will show it when it's in its original, but refurbed scales?!?

    Great work, did you hand sand or go mechanical to get that finish?

    I use everything... hand sanding, bench buffer and Dremel tools. The crocus finish is done by hand and then buffed out with a buffer. Every blade is different so I just go with the flow...
