Before and after picks of the restoration of an unknown smiling wedge. Cocobolo wood finished with Lemon oil and polished. Acrylic black/white marbled wedge.
Domed washers in stainless and nickle silver pins.
Spent some quality time with my new mistresses Ms Buff and Ms Polish. Special thanks to Lynn for the time spent on the phone discussing techniques and tools.
Scale design by CarrieM and JrJoeD, this was a family project that we all enjoyed. Pictures my JrJoeD.
How wonderful!!!
Outstanding job on the blade and such a nice color of wood!
Took a second, but I rather like that one, very nice in fact....
Turned out really good, I will agree with Glen, I had to take a double look at it for it to sink in. Unique...but I likessss...
Wow, that is an excellent blade restore, and a unique, and very cool take on scale design!
Love the one of a kind blade shape, and how you polished it up, really looks wonderful.
Mmm, purty! Love that blade shape, especially the tail. Nice work with the scale shape too - simple but they compliment the blade shape nicely.
Outstanding work Joe. It always amazes me how a blade can be brought back to life after looking so bad. (Nice pictures, JrJoe.)
Looks great, way to bring in the whole family on the design.
Big Ups, Joe & crew :tu:tu
I like the 'mona lisa' smile on the scales :p
WOW... thats an eye catcher.. great job,glad to hear it was a family project all the better :)
Well done, Joe! I'm looking forward to hearing how this baby shaves.
Wow Joed! That's really great stuff!
Only ever seen “The Old English Razor” on Frederick Reynolds blades.
The scales really do fit the razor, and looks like it was made that way… and I would bet good money it shaves as well as it looks… and seems to be well on it way to become a family heirloom... beginning with this “rebirth”.
Good work man.
Having it in hand we could see that it was a rescale. Somebody must have liked the blade enough to rescale it. The blade does look like it was made this way nut the center of the blade is thicker than the spine even before I started working on it. It's making honing it a real pita. I'll sped some more tome on it later today and see if I can get an edge on it.Quote:
