yeah .... I think I'm getting better
First razor has spalted birch scales but the wood is pretty hard. Love the wood. Snakewood wedge. Really old blade... should have taken a before picture.
Second razor is another wood that I enjoy Black and White ebony. African Blackwood wedge. And a nice Thomas Turner blade.
Lastly. a Padauk with snakewood wedge and French frameback with old damask blade.
Next time I think I will try something different ... maybe a little scale decoration. But I am sticking with wood....there's nothing like it. I intend to try bone or horn soon as well.

Great work for your first restores...they look like you've been at it for a long while! The frameback is a stunner.

Looking better. That birch is Masur Birch (Karelian Birch). I am turning a set of handles for an espresso machine from some. Pretty wood.

Great work & beautiful timbers.
Love that French blade.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
