    Default Harmonie CLUB For Barbers Use in Jasmine

    Fresh off the bench is this Harmonie CLUB Specialy For Barbers Use
    15/16" full hollow FBU
    the scales on it were not original & a fraction shallow for this blade
    so I resulted it in Jasmine from my yard
    wedge is Gabon ebony
    silver eyelet washers & brass pins and inner washers

    Nice work. Are you sure these weren't original? Very clean functional look. A+

    Yeah, a big razor in undersized scales is unsightly. The grain on that wood has a very tight, subtle look, well suited to scales. Quite beautiful, a great job.

    Yeh hope they hold up as they only have a wax coating and no CA glue as I usually do for wood

    Beautiful. Is that a hardwood? Did you need to dry and stabilize it?

    Well done.
    Like the grain in the wood. Don't think I ever saw Jasmine used.

    Thanks Mate ,
    I would probably say a medium wood not as hard not as my Burdekin plum but harder than pine & the Oaks
    it is from about a 3" branch from my Jasmine tree it has been drying for about a year at least
    I didn't stabilize or CA coat it & went old school & only used wax so hopefully it will hold up if not it will be CA Coated & reinstated
