Thread: Regrinds an Rescales by J.C.

I had some blades that needed alot of help, Joe Chandler fixed them right up for me, he also wrapped them in some Beautiful new scales...

Thanks Joe!! They look Excellent

5/8 W&B Wedge, Burgundy Linen Micarta


6/8 Higgins Wedge, Olive Wood


7/8 + Wostenholm Wedge, Curly Bubinga


8/8 W&B Full Hollow Barbers, Bocote

I'd say something, but my drool is preventing it.

I had one re-grind from JC and it was a truly superb job, so I'm not surprised that the trend continues

Now, if only I can get a decent photography setup (he re-used my crappy pix) and learn to take a good picture. I truly believe they look much better in person.

Wow - what a nice group! Great work

Cheers
Ivo

That 5/8 wedge finished really well, I have a similar blade (notched W&B) that could use the same treatment.

The Higgins looks particularly nice - what type of wood are those scales made from?

that's (likely) not wood, Dave

Even though I prefer naturals, seeing Joe's G10 in black and orange makes me change my mind

Sorry Joe,

I don't really have a good camera setup either. You are right though they do look much nicer in person

The 5/8 W&B scales are Micarta, and they look incredible. I really like the grain look to them and that they should last forever is a +..

I forget the other types of wood Joe used, but the grain is Fantastic on all three, the Wostenholm almost has a burl look to it, but they all all quite stunning.

Thanks again Joe.

The Higgins is olive wood. I got some killer stuff in I can't wait to make more scales out of. The small wedge is burgundy linen micarta. The big Wostenholm (which is just a great feeling razor to shave with) is curly bubinga.

This is A+ Joe. padron will no doubt enjoy those blades immensely.
