Thread: My First Restore Attempt

After viewing all the razors in the gallery and realizing how little I know about wood and metal work, I have to say I'm pretty intimidated putting these pictures up. Well, enough excuses, got to start somewhere I guess...

I picked up this blade to learn scales but the blade was in worse condition that I thought so I got a lesson in blade and scales. It still has some battle scars on the blade but I'm OK with that.

Pictures of the original condition can be found in this thread...

Blade: Bengall 7/8 (100% hand sanded and buffed, no tools or sanding blocks used).

Scales: Padauk Wood with BloodWood teardrop inlay and Bloodwood wedge. (Nine coats of hand rubbed poly used to finish the wood)

I haven't made a light box yet but I think these pictures will do for now...
