3 NEW RESTORATIONS

The first is a 13/16" "IMPERIAL RAZOR" in snakewood with a Walnut Wedge. The tang stamp has "Warranted Registered 20507 Germany on it. The second is a 13/16" Double Arrow 200 in Zebrawood with a Walnut wedge,this is the only DA I have ever seen like this (and it's straight!!!) #3 is a 11/16" Wade & Butcher wedge in Cherry with a Walnut wedge. Can anybody tell me if they have seen a D.A. like this one? I'll have a Crown & Sword and an Ekilstuna (both barbers notches) done soon. They'll both be in Cherry with a Walnut wedge. I hope everyone likes them!

Obie,
I think you are mistaking me for the OP.
I just made a comment.

Let me see:

Great work on those razors, and good taste in choosing the scales. Congratulations.

Is there really a cadillac of DA's, or is it just a Chevette dressed as one?:roflmao

I think they are terrible! I think you should let me confiscate all three.
I am kidding! That is great work! I like the simple smooth lined and scales designs. I also really like the snakewood and pivot pin.

Two thumbs up!

I really like wood scales. Can you describe how you finish the wood?

Thank you!

Awesome Ramon! What did you finish the Snakewood with? Danish? Tung?

Like the pivot pin used as well. Very inspiring work mate!

I used 25 coats of medium weight Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue). After every 2 coats, I would sand them down with wet/dry sandpaper, 220/320/400/800/1500/2000/2500/3000 grits. This gets most if not all of the imperfections left by the glue seeping into the wood. Not only that, it shines up real nice with a coat or two of MAAS after I'm done. It takes awhile but I believe it's worth it! Thanks for the interest! Take care!
