    Cool Stubtail in Camel Bone

    Early 1800's Stub-tail "Guarantee" Razor
    Lightly buffed and put into custom Camel Bone scales, I gave them an aged look using Tea I was trying for a Reddish tint but didn't get too much of that.. but it sure brought of the figuring..

    The scales are .105" thick and the Streaked Black Buffalo Horn wedge is .045" at the end
    Had a little fun with the pins and outer washers,, Used a two tone look like I have seen on these originally.. A domed SS outer washer and Brass pins with Brass inner bearing washers

    Very cool! Love the authentic look! The aging is appealing to me, clean lines.

    Very nice Glen ! The tea soak did give the scales a subtle aged look. I don't presume to know what effect you were shooting for but this old Barlow pocket knife with bone scales was dyed with Fienbings alcohol based leather dye in burgandy.

    I will try and find the old thread about the experiment for you Jimbo

    Here is the first one there is another around here someplace too with a slightly different method like I use but the idea is to basically to crush the Coti slurry until it is like Talc in a Cream...
