Attachment 153750
You'll cut yer eye out! Save those scales and collars! That's an order! :cool:
Thats half a scale, other side had a huge chunk missing sadly
The huge chunk can be replaced! Just saying! :)
True enough, got a few half sets of originals since ive disassembled about 6 of these in the last month, gonna have to sand one to match but Itll work
Won this cherry burl off ebay yesterday, pretty sure itll end up on this blade, along with several others, not bad for 21 bucks shipping included I didnt think...6x2x2
WOW not a bad price AT ALL! I need to start scoping ebay for scale materials!
I'm looking forward to seeing the end product :cool:
Waiting on pins and need to seal my scales to finish the boker damascus then im moving on to this blade
Nevermind...mailman just ran!
So it has etching....its the masonic etched blade....hope I can save it
Tried to get a pic of the etchings....have barely sanded on it then saw it had an etch, Masonic symbols etc.
Would soda blasting save the etch, I know it takes rust and leaves metal on cars, so would it remove patina and leave etchings? I have a smaller soda blaster if so
Yay the 6x2×2" cherry burl arrived, I gotta get a bandsaw tho :-(
I would be concerned with soda blasting. It may "frost" or blur the surface. Hell of a nice piece, been hunting for a wedge/near wedge W&B that size for a while... Congrats!Quote:

Love hobby lobby...friend of mine is bout finished with my old style W&B collar punch....ill get pics up when it is ready.
Grabbed some brass rods, tubing and sheets of brass.
Slabbed that cherry Burl block! This is the natural color,no oil etc.
Has that burl been stabilized? Alot of the burls I've worked with tend to be on the fragile side if not stabilized, but that could just be my bad luck. Can't wait on the finished razor.
Going to soak the slabs in minwood wood hardener overnight ;-)Quote:
