    Default My 3rd Restoration

    This razor was part of a lot of 3 that I purchased via the classifieds sometime in December.

    Peerless Cutlery Co.
    Rochester, N.Y.

    I cleaned it by hand from 400 to 2000 grit.(sorry I didn't take before pics)

    The scales are from a piece of scrap corner molding of unknown material, the wedge is Red Oak, and everything is finished in 6 coats of Tung Oil. I'm still terrible at peening so I used micro fasteners.

    Very nice. I like the flow of the scales that mimics the blade.

    Quite like the organic shape & the mystery scale material.

    Very nice lines and rich-subdued coloration on the scales. Very nice work!

    I like those scales! Good design, and good job of finding a non-standard material.

    Your white balance was off for the pictures. I took the liberty of adjusting it for you... I hope you don't mind.

    I usually make a point of trying not to clutter up this forum with appreciative oohs and aahs (you can take them as read). I'll make an exception this time: I really love those scales: very well done, sir. Looks like a fish.

    Looks pretty good, nice shape and nice job on the whole thing. Did you find any areas of scale construction to be particularly tricky? (I think sometimes sharing these things can really help others who are starting to try to make scales).

    Very nicely done! If you would like to improve your peening I like Glen's (GSSIXGUN) recommendation of practicing on Popsicle sticks available at most hobby shops. Keep them coming!!
