Haywood & Cartledge in Amboyna Burl

Got this 7/8 " Haywood & Cartledge for a full custom restore by one of our members.
The blade was with decent pitting, but it buffed almost completely out.
I made the scales from Amboyna Burls backed with black liners, and pewter wedge.
I used CA to finish the scales, the pins are nickel silver with SS washers.
It came out great IMO, and the blade is a beast, the spine is maybe a bit over 1/4" thick.

Fantastic work:)

Man I wish I could one of my blades restored like that but alas not for a long time still very gorgeous

Boy, I'll say that turned out nicely. I love to see scales made of Amboyna burl and the black liner adds to it as does the pewter wedge. Just what I'd be looking for in a custom rescale.

Looks Great! That's super work.

Beautiful work!

That's just beautiful. A really really nice job!

Blade and scale work looks fabulous! great work!

I like the black liners. They add depth to the scales.
Great work!

Threads like this one confuse me. Should I learn how to shave with them or just learn to restore them. Right now
neither looks like it on the upward trail!!☹
