    B52,she is coming along, you might be slower than MGMike but you are still faster than I am. I have not worked on much in the last month. I do have stuff on the bench, it’s not a lack of projects.
    Richard that one looks nice. It is funny because there is BJ Eyre with the late Greaves and then there is (I can’t remember) with the late BJ Eyre. I have one of Eyre at home and one with the late, no Greaves though. Kind of an interesting move from one successor to the next. I suppose Eyre was in the begining holding on to Greaves reputation until he built his own, then the next was holding onto Eyres reputation until he got onto his feet.
    Also that read and white brush is looking mighty flashy. It is a couple of pages back but still stuck in my eye.

    This one was picked up with a bunch of other blanks by a college student in Sheffield 40 some years ago. A rust ball when I got it. Many of those blanks had never been honed.
    Thanks ~Richard

    That Eyre turned out splendid Richard! A terrific razor maker from Sheffield.
    This one from the next island over is ready for the stones finally.

    Glad to see that they made it to their potential B52. In can’t think of a more fitting blade for those scales.

    Thanks guys.
    Turned out sweet in these bone on g10 Black backers with the tricetera symbol set flush. Went with a lead wedge and the balance seems pretty spot on.
    Thanks again for them Shaun, honored to have a set of your creations in my rotation.
