This is the latest one off the bench. A W&B Frameback reclothed in Black & Tan G10. Took me 3 attempts with the G10 to get these right as it's my first time working with it. Turned out ok though afterall:) Left the patina on the blade as there are some deeper pits and though the pics don't show it a very faint etching still remains. Orange cracked ice acryllic wedge and brass washers and pins top it all off. Comments more than welcome and thanks for looking:)
Stunning!!
very nice!
That's one heck of a gorgeous frameback :tu:tu. Nice job restoring it. I think you did good with the patina.
PS: I have one (I think almost exactly the same) that I snatched from Max (he did it in beautiful dark horn) which I featured in SOTD a few days ago. I love this blade
Third time's the charm, huh? You did a great job! It looks terrific.
Nice work! Can you tell us what the problems you ran into working with the Micarta? I never used it, so it would be helpful to know.
Not so much the G10 itself but rather the black & tan layers...getting them just right without overdoing it and making it a mess or too thin.Quote:

Like the others have said, great job. Love the blade.
Good job on the scales, I haven't tried working with G10 yet. As a side note, I have one of these razors and it's a great shaver.
You did a great job on your w&b, and hopefully mine will look half as good as yours when it's restored!:D
