    Default Wade & Butcher in African Ironwood

    Just finished up another pre 1891 Wade & Butcher barbers notch. The original scales were cracked and not salvageable. There is a bit of pitting along the scale line, but it still polished up pretty well. Ended up going with an African Ironwood for the scales and a bone wedge.







    Went ahead and just cut them down to the shape of the originals




    before final shaping of the wedge

    Nice job. Good tight spacer and a cool choice of pun and washer.
