    Default Wade & Butcher 9/8th Customised.

    Hi guys, hope you are all good..
    W&B 9/8ths.. The title alone is worth a few hits

    This one had some ugly pitting , still remnants remain.
    The scales are Amboyna Burl Stabilised which looks flat n dead in the photos but in real life is beautiful with what looks to me like holographic parts.
    Copper lined wedge with copper spacers and solid extra large bulls eye collars..

    Easy to hone with great geometry . I had the bevel angle at 18.1 degrees that's with 2 layers of tape..
    Thanks..
    Joseph.

    Looks very good to me especially considering Amboyna Burl is one of my favourite woods for scales and shave brush handles.

    I love the scales. The collars you used for the pins really provides an accent to the burl. Great job!

    Looks great to me. The way you make the scales, the wedge nice and thin, excellent work.

    There is also a downloadable Exel file here http://coticule.be/wedges.html on the left side of the page part way down. They are talking about wedges but it works for all grinds as I assume geometry is the same no matter the grind.
