That really is exquisite craftsmanship there! Great job - if it shave half as good as it looks, you're in for one heck of a smooth face!

That is a pretty snazzy looking W&B Frameback. The Olive wood almost looks like a burl or something. I can see the horse and buggy etched on the blade just fine. Nice work.

Did you do the brass work yourself or was it designed like that?
Looks fantastic.

The brass spine is original to the blade. Just shaved with it and it worked well.... BBS, no blood.

It is hard to find olive with good figuring and no defects. It seems like the nicest bits have bark inclusions or voids. Not that that is a problem, they just add a bit of rustic look. I have a couple that way and filled/stabilized them with epoxy resin before top coating them. Nice work.

Wow now that is amazing and something I never knew existed. But it makes you wonder it theres a way you could DIY, to get rid or unsightly spine pitting... Originally Posted by denmason
