    Default Near wedge W&B restored

    I grabbed this up from an Antique store a while back. It was pretty rusty and someone had mad an attempt at whittling some scales for it. I was super happy to find a Wade & Butcher!! I decided to do the scales in Amboyna burl jut because its so darn pretty!! I made the wedge out of maple which contrasts the amboyna nicely. This is actually the first razor I've ever restored, mind you I have a lot of woodworking experience. The pinning on the other hand I have never done. It was a nice challenge, but I think it turned out well. After 8 coats of high gloss polyurethane, the wood really pops. Let me know what you guys think.
