Thread: Wade & Butcher 8/8 rescale in Ebony and blood wood insppired by cannonfodder

To start out I would like to thank cannonfodder for his post of a similar rescale. I copied his ebony and blood wood desigh. Cannonfodder's rescale can be found here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/galle...w-b-wedge.html I am not trying to improve on his work. I picked up this blade w/ really bad scales and searched the gallery for someone's work that I thought would look good with the blade and this is what CarrieM and I though would go best. What do they say is the greatest form of flattery?

I would not suggest this as a first project. I don't have all of the tools that would make this restore easier but I did the best I could with what I had on hand. The only purchase needed for the project was the wood. Everything else I had on hand from other restores. I originally wanted to use the original washers from the old scales but it wasn't going to work out.

Hope you like the results.

What a beauty! I expect to find her in a pope's pocket.

Pleasure to look at!

Nice one, Joes. I knew she was going to look awesome, and she totally does.

That's a great looking razor. Fantastic job!

Nicely done!

Nice one Joe!

Very nice. You should be proud of this one.

Thanks Bill. I loke it but it is more important to me that my son, JrJoeD, like's it and is proud of it. Everyone's reply to this thread and others I post help obtain that. Based on clavichord's post he now wants to call it the Pope's razor. That means a lot to me, more than the results in the razor. Your comments also add to his delight. Thank you.

Beautiful razor joe...looks like a keeper.
