Wade & Butcher Bow Razor Restore & Rescale
Hello gents,
I cleaned up this nice late 1800's W&B Bow razor. I wanted to make a 3-pin scales for a while and this was the razor I chose to do that. I'm pretty happy with the overall result.
The first picture shows the material before the assembly, the others show the final result. By the way, my camera sucks.
What do you think?

OK, details:
The blade itself was from an eBoy auction I won. It was cheap for the condition, I guess it didn't reached 20 bucks.
I bought some set of unused scales from Philadelph. I chose these because they were the ones who were the most suited for the job - rather large to hold a 6/8 razor and 3 pins.
The pins are from razor-handles.de
The spacer is from normal wood, I did it myself with a saw and a file and painted it afterwards.
I'm glad you folks liked it. I'll post this beauty in the razor clubs - Wade & Butcher thread.
Thanks
