Frederics Celebrated Razor in Bone Scales, Mosaic pin, and Stag Brush
This is a continuation of a previous project. I picked this Frederics Celebrated Razor some time ago and it has been sitting in my project box waiting for me to work on it. I put quite a few hours into sanding the blade. There is still a grind mark and wave here and there but not many. It is darn near mirrored after the buffing wheels.
I wanted something special for the scales. I like the resin finished wood but I wanted to try something different. I decided to try making a set of bone scales and use a mosaic rod and adjustable pivot pin. To contrast the white/cream of the bone, and the black of the mosaic pin I went with an ebony wedge. Over time the bone will yellow and get more character . They have been given a light coat of Danish oil to help seal the porous bone. It is photographed with a Stag brush that I put together for someone else. The razor is going into my collection.
