Yeah that is why I would prefer a Lorraine as backing as I already wrote. The Lorraine is much faster than the BBW and gives an edge that is already shave-ready, while not beeing to comfortable. But the combination together wth a thuri is fantastic. Using a coticule is of course possible, but depends on the vein and quality of the coti. Using a good vein would also give a very "expensive" combination.

Nice one Peter.

Very cool and adventurous . Is the thuri vintage ?

A great idea, and I'm sure it will be a very useful tool!

Beautiful job!! Are you taking orders yet??

Of course vintage material, there is no chance to reactivate one of the old mines or install a new quarry at the moment.

Sure - but only in same volume as in the old Escher catalogs mentioned: in dozens!
