G. Wostenholm "Celebrated" I-XL Custom Restore in Horn Acylic
This one is another of the four Sheffield's I have been working on for the last week..... A 7/8+ George Wostenholm & Sons Celebrated I-XL Washington Works Razor....
She got to me in pretty bad shape...
After some time on the buffers and I ended up with a beautiful satin finish.... I used some of the new acrylics I just received yesterday, this is the Natural Horn... The shape for the scales is kinda from an old Genco razor adapted to fit this Wostie...
I used all brass hardware and added the center pin with the brass concho...
The razor again balances out to the tang....
I also took this shot to show that the scales are not stressed at all from the center pin

Glen, this is one of the rare occasions on which I would agree that re-scales can actually enhance the look of a razor. Beautiful. Thank you a lot for sharing.

Beautiful! The shape of the scales is very complimentary to the blade.

What is the merit of the third pin? Just as a blade stop?
Just curious, really.
Love the faux horn. Quite nice, really. I see your getting quite fancy with the washers lately. They do give it an extra bump. Kudos.
