W & B in Horn
This is my 3rd restore..a Wade and Butcher 15/16 For Barbers Use. I was going to try and keep the original Horn Scales but cracked one unpinning it
So I thought, well why not give horn a try. The pics dont show it but it's translucent horn. I kept the shape fairly close to the original scale shape and pinned it using brass pins and washers. Polished the blade but left some of the pitting to keep the "vintage look" and the wedge is yellow ribbon acrylic.
Thanks for looking and your comments are always welcome

NICE ! Hard to beat the original scale shapes.
