Thread: Wade & Butcher 7/8 in Walnut

This is a full restore/rescale I did for my father. It's been a long project because I didn't originally have all the tools I wanted to do the job. We found the blade covered in rust for $7 at an antique store, in its original scales, and thought it just might have life in it...

I did the scales in figured black walnut, as per his request (I kept the original scales to put on a different W&B Chopper) with a buffed polyurethane finish. They are like glass, lit from within! Horn wedge, brass hardware... Looking forward to teaching him to shave with this!

My computer fried this morning, so I won't be able to put up the before pics, but here are the afters:
