Roberts Warranted weekend travel kit
Finished making a weekend strop and case combo for a pair of Roberts Warranted razors for a fellow member. Posted a lot of this in the workshop as it progressed, but here it is complete.
Made out of walnut with a balsa inner lid coated in .25 micron diamond spray.
Overall finished dimensions 2”wide by 14” stropping surface by 1.5” thick.
Leather is Latigo and could be replaced by removing the s.s. hardware.

To summarize the process, solid walnut milled out to cradle the razors as well as make the end radius for the strop, and the tensioning handle.

Pockets made deeper at the wedge end to allow for easy removal of blades.
Attachment 282060
Brass used inside 5/16” threaded rod pocket to ensure long life and no binding while tightening. s.s. hardware throughout.
French polish finish.

And green felt used inside the pockets to protect the scales in transit.

WT is the brand my daughter came up with for me as she thinks her dad’s a bit of a mad wizard. ;)
Hopefully the razors fit well and the owner shall update this thread with pictures of the real deal once received.
Thanks for looking.
