    We have been married six years now, so that shows you how long the process has taken!

    Hi guys , been working on a Joseph Rodgers razor today, a tad over 7/8"
    scales were unfortunately too far gone
    a true wedge , hoped it wld be a pre 1891...
    after dismantling 'England' showed up, so post 1891
    the seller ( I bought a canvas khaki pouch containing 4 items) , told me they were all WW1 items he found in the "Diksmuide/Passendale' area , most likely
    owned by a British officer ?Name:  IMG_1635.jpg

    Those scales can probably be saved, IMO

    If anyone could save them, Outback could. I think he may pass an an opportunity such as this however (I could be wrong)

    Those would need black hair dye, in addition to the bog oak dust and CA.

    I am thinking they would be more epoxy than horn!

    Looks like filler material to me. Something to keep to grind up for filler. Not fix. But Mike does crazy stuff.
    It's just Sharpening, right?
