Hello all,
Here is one of the latest projects. I thought the blade was rather cool. It's a Wade and Butcher with the etching still wonderfully intact! I tried to keep the scales in the same theme as the blade.
I should have it finished by tomorrow or Saturday.
enjoy!
Looking good, what are you going to use for a wedge?
Cool lookin' scales shutterbug. The design is tastefully matched to the blade!
Those are some great looking scales. The scrollwork really goes with the blade etching.
I'll be using a black acrylic wedge.
Nice. I just bought one of those, but don't have scales like that for it!
I have one as well, excellent shaver.
I had the opportunity to buy one Sunday, but the edge was chipped the full length. Would it be worth buying and rubbing the blade across a hone to get the chips out.?
Very nice! Your work is always stellar John. :tu :tu I have two of these Shave well razors, one w/ the etching and one w/o. They are great shavers but a bear to hone especially of there is a lot of material to reset the bevel.
That's going to look great! Is that a 5/8? Seems to have never been honed (judging by the full width etch)
Very Nice work John :tu
The artistry you have always amazes me...
For those of you that missed this thread from Nov 2010 I think you will enjoy it. John's work is top shelve and is well worth posting a link to a project he worked on for me. Hope you don't mind reading through or revisiting this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...es-master.html
Those are beautiful scales, I think your design goes great with etched pattern.Charlie
wow, good looking scales! Thats looks good by the razor i think.
Looking forward to the pic where the razor and scales are together.
Lovely, lovely work on those scales. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!
It's good to see some of your work again John! It seems like I haven't seen you post much in awhile... Maybe it's just me?
Fabulous work as always - in fact, it seems as if you just keep getting better and better.
Your work with a jeweller's saw is simply incredible.
I used to cut coins and know what PITA those saws can be, especially when you get to the point of "just a little bit more" and ta'tink, or when you twist it at the end of the stroke insted of in the middle of the stroke, or it snags when you're trying to back out of a skinny cut, all of the above followed by "dammit!" or something worse.:rofl2:
Beautiful work. I admire your abilities immensely.

Very nice scales
The scrollwork is just superb! great work!
Wow! Those scales are gorgeous! Please keep posting more
Hey- come on - you promised to have this finished by some time on Saturday so I expected to see photos of it finished and polished up.
Always a pleasure to see your work. Some day i hope to have a set of your scales.
That's gonna' be one bad razor! Them scales are awesome, and the inscription is a classic. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Always amazing to see what you can do with tools. Those look great.
sorry, work has been getting in the way of posting the final pics.Quote:
