Joseph Rodgers & Sons- my second restore

Yes but I was forced to sand the outer side of the scales since it look somewhat bloched in appearance. I plan on using renaissance wax which will also protect the ivory better.

I wouldn't plolish out anymore patina, that looks great as is

Great idea with the Ivory looks like a keeper for sure

If you did that small detailed skrimshaw by hand with an exacto knife, you Sir are an ARTIST! Well Done!

Thanks but if you saw it under 10x magnification you may change your opinion :-). I really enjoy scrimshaw and was looking for a unique way to incorporate it with my scales.

The new scales are truly amazing work… I love the design.

But I have one issue with the design... it appears; when the razor is closed, the edge will strike the part of the wedge that extends below the razor.
