Wade & Butcher "Playing the Blues"

Another heading home to Modine :)

A nice W&B 7/8 Hollow Notch this one just got a tiny bit of a re-polish then new "Flashy" scales....
Mike asked for some Blues so I used some of the "Sandbar" Acrylic I opted for a recon Amber wedge... Hardware is all SS and Nickel Silver, I tried to keep the shape close to the older original shape for the W&B's

Balances all the elements perfectly. I am really liking the look of the "sandbar" acrylic.

Very nice job Glen :tu

Now, I can't wait to see what my Genco "Easy Aces" and W&B "Special" will look like after you're done with them...the suspense is killing me :D.

Nice detail how the swirls of the coloring is evenly flowing from not only the tops of the scale from one side to the other, but even the front over the wedge. The wedge has absolute definition, from that area of blue scales, but the amber color match keeps that swirling look.

Gorgeous overall.

Thank you for noticing :) I cut these off of a block just for that reason, so the grain follows from scale to scale just like wood... Good eye...

excellent. I love the look of the scales. I am also heavily biased to blue's and greens. :)

I'm not a wedge lover these days but I love what you've done with those scales Glen.
Obviously cut from a block.. You don't always get pattern symmetry like that from sheet acrylic.

Just beautiful. Your restoration work is stunning. The new owner will be a lucky man!

Btw, shaved with a Wade&Butcher 5/8 restored by you today, gifted to me by Bob, great shaver those old Sheffield blades:)
