Wade and Butcher in Honey Horn and Amber wedge
Recovered this WB spike point but was unable to save the scales.
Tried to follow the basic original lines with a bit of creative license for some finger grooves. Made the wedge out of fossilized amber and kept the scales thin
(around 2mm) to ensure some transparency to the finished work.
Thanks for looking.

Good work in keeping the amber intact Mike - the scales look really good.
Actually, I'm not sure which is more impressive - the razor or your showpiece anvil.My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
