    Default HOLY LAND W.H. MORLEY & SONS

    Name: 001.jpg Views: 498 Size: 47.7 KBI went to Israel on a Mission trip with the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission in January and came back with 4 pieces of Olive Wood. that I was given by a friend who runs an Olive wood factory in Bet Sahur, West Bank. This is the first of a few razors I'll be doing with that wood. This is a W.H. Morley & Sons Barbers notch that I found at an auction. The scales are made from 1 piece of Olive WoodName: 003.jpg Views: 469 Size: 26.2 KB.Name: 002.jpg Views: 477 Size: 35.1 KBI used some Mosaic pin stock for the 3rd pin. The wedge is made of African Blackwood and the scales are sealed with Tung Oil.

    Beautiful timber & I'm biased towards oil finishing so

    Absolutely beautiful, and the Morley & Sons are my favorite blades. At first glance, I thought the 3rd pin was a 4leaf clover.

    That is a really fine job. How and where for the mosaic pin? I've never seen that before and I need to know!
