Frederick Reynolds Buckeye in Burgundy Micarta
Hi All:
Here she is, my third restoration and rescale.
I'm not a professional, just an enthusiast. My camera work is obviously similar. I just wanted to share my work. I couldnt find this particular razor in the database either. ?
I hope you all like it.
Regards,
Mike

One of the brands I covet is F.Reynolds, and I gotta say that is very nice. I'm a Buckeye so that would be kewl if I found one of those around, never seen this particular one at all till now.

It looks really nice. The blade is beautiful, except for the engraving... Go Blue

Looks professional to me. Good job. I couldn't tell from the photos exactly, but are the scale bevels triangular? If so, I'd be curious to know how you made them and kept them even. Beltsander? Thanks.

Thanks guys for the compliments ... i used a Makita 3X24 belt sander upside down and stared down the end of it as i shaped it all down while giving it a small twist. It was a little tedious but i wanted to mimic the razor spine somehow ... it actually turned out exactly as i had pictured it. I havent figured out yet how to get micarta to polish up but i dont mind the matte finish. Aaron if i ever decide to sell or trade, I'll remember you spoke up first.
Thanks again guys!
Mike

Good job! I hope you are wearing a respirator and not one of those white face masks that you see in hospitals; horn as well as acrylic dust is very bad for your lungs. HOG

Very Impressive work
I really like the contour work that you did...
Brother I can sympathize with your photography woes it took me ages (and some help from Max and Brad) to even get halfway decent shots to come out

Mike,
I like that a lot! Very sweet! May I ask how you finished the scales? Looks very nice.
