John Shaw's Celebrated 7/8 for Barber's Use Restored
This one was restored using Quilted Bubinga and I used the original scale design with only a few changes...
The macro lense is picking up every single blemish, but in person she shines sweetly, I did not re-grind out everything so I could keep the blade stamp...
Almost got a clean mirror finish anyway....
The Quilted Bubinga is finished with 10 coats of gloss wipe on Poly, the wedge was the original that I re-worked, I really think it is silver, and not lead.. The pins are Nickel Silver with #0 SS domed washers

That's a looker for sure!
I assume that's not really a chip in the edge near the toe in the 2nd pic...? I don't see it in pic #3, so it's probably the camera messing with you.Last edited by jakoblah; 04-15-2009 at 12:27 AM.

That quilted Bubinga is pretty far-out looking.
I like the original, no-nonsense scale outlines though. Very nice: classic cool with a fancy wood twist.
