Not so much a restore as a remodel. But yes my first. Thank you

Nice save there the bone came out great
Not to hijack the thread, plus being a little late to the party, but you got those bones as thin as ivory. Couple of questions: what is going on at the pivot? It looks like a brass bead in there almost which of course it isn't. How did you pin the razor? And echoing others....grinding bone is like the smell of a dentist drilling a tooth with a 1" diameter bit in a 3" diameter tooth.
Disaster.

Dropped it in the garage on concrete. Blade is fine but need to get more bone now. [emoji35] [emoji24]
Awww man, that sucks!!!! I did the same thing on some I was making awhile back. I broke one of the scales so I glues it back together to make a pattern & made a new one. I then made them much thinner like Ivory & the razor came out nice! It's the one in this thread in post #16. I had to edit this after typing it wrong the first time.
Ugh...you have our sympathies....
You do have a pattern and this one will go much faste...
All he needs to do is put it back together with some CA & draw a pattern from it to make a new one. I did the same thing on some bone scales I was making. I decided they were too thick so when i was driving the pin back out, it had expanded & i broke a scale. You can see the finished razor in post #16 on this thread.
Already working on the new side. Only the one scale broke so using the other as the pattern. Luckily I had a piece of bone with enough meat to it to make it work. Will update later.
I see they loped pretty thick. Did you see my post #16? Try & get them as thin as you can & you'll feel so much better but make the other one first. Mine were thick at first but I wasn't happy with them which is how I broke one scale getting them apart but I got them as thin as 1.5 mm each & it came out really nice.
