    Default B. J. Eyre & Co. Late W. Greaves & Sons - Redheart and turquoise.

    Just finished this today. Thought I'd share.

    Before and after. I had never worked with the turquoise before and just happened to have a piece laying around that I had been wanting to play with. ( It chips.. )

    I wish the piece had been a bit bigger but it turned out ok in the end.

    I love the redheart. I went with a simple renaissance wax finish.

    Enjoy.
    Bruce

    Looks great, nicely done. The scale shape fits well the the shape of the blade.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I really like it!
    I heard that turquoise often breaks as the veins weaken it's structure.
    It sure looks good finished though!

    Great Job

    Sweet Sheffield restoration. That turquoise wedge is a nice touch.

    Thanks all. I'm finding that I like working with hardwoods and different wedge materials. I still use micarta and other man made materials but there is something about the natural stuff that I find I just love working with.

    What a nice looking razor. I love Greaves blades, and the turquoise wedge is beautiful. Its good you kept it nice and thick to make it stand out.
    Well Done!!!
