W&B Complete Restore in Horn

Here is a W&B I did a few weeks ago. I noticed that someone did the logo on a set of scales and I decided to add my on spin on it.
The scales are horn with a Turquoise inlay. polished out the blade to a satin finish as I wanted to keep the blade etching in tact as much as I could. I also left some very minor pit marks but they are completely cleaned.
I sorta like the age showing as I think it tells a story about the piece. We all love that mirror finish (we guys like shinny stuff) but this blade is 100 years old and has a ton to say.

Why is it I see fingerprints in my photos that I don't see when I wipe the razors down....:gaah:

Enjoy

Very cool. May I ask what process you use to put on the logo?

Thank you, I used a my laser to deep engrave the horn then I crushed the Turquoise and mixed it with epoxy and filled, dried, sanded and buffed.

Thanks. I'm sure it is 100 times harder than you made it sound. Thanks for posting the process.

The logo in the horn is a really nice touch. I think it's pretty classy. Nice looking blade too!

because you don't clean your hands when you're handling your razors? when I set something shiny up for a photo, I usually handle it only with the rag it was polished with.

AWESOME !!!

Came out great and the scales and logos and pinning just all mesh perfectly. Well balanced looking as well.

Nice job. The inlayed scales show some imaginative accents. I like it!
