Dunno if theyr'e good but are there any bad U.S. razors ?“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

That IS NOT Zebrawood. That wood is most likely European (London) Plane Wood, Lacewood, or some type of Australian Flamed Oak. Hard to tell on such a small piece and without knowing the grain direction.

Awesome work, however I really think both you and the owner should consider getting that razor to Grant somehow hehehehe I mean it does have his name on there
The notches go way back on here BTW, they might have been inspired by some of the Vintage designs,
but I really can't remember who started them, they have moved from blade to tang to highlight etch though...

Kinda looks like a type of elm maybe, not lacewood it has almost a "groove" looking grain. Looks almost like an oak grain structure, but the reddish purple grain just throws me for a loop, very nice either way. Just saw nicko's post...like minds sir
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
