W&B brass spine w/ Olive

Ok, it's been awhile since I've posted any razor resto's up. So, here we go. This Wade and Butcher has a brass spine and etching on the blade (hard to see in photos) I tried hard to preserve it, but it's still there... look hard. Scales are Olive, brass spacer, pins. Finish is 8 coats of CA. Here's the Photos:

Gorgeous, a thing of absolute beauty!

Absolutely stunning work!

That is the nicest piece of olive wood I've seen in some time.

Top notch workmanshop there.

Exquisite work on the scales. A beautiful razor!

The scales on that blade are absolutely beautiful.:bow

Well, I am going to chime in anyway! My gooodness, that is a piece of art. I love those scales and the blade is not bad either!!!

I just love those scales! Congrat! :tu

Whoa !! What a Stunna !!

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. :D

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... :hmmm:

A pleasure to see.
