the collection so far...
Since I started this hobby/sport of SR Shaving, Acquisition and Restoration back in June, I've mainly focused on making custom scales with 'exotic hard woods". I really like seeing the wood grain come out after finishing. I've done some blade restoration, but nothing that would be considered mirror finish. Mainly concerned with getting the blade cleaned up and shave ready so I can put it to use.
From the top;
F. Finny Talley-Ho in Bacote
Manhattan Cutlery Sheffield in Marble Wood
Geneva Cutlery, NY in Oak (from a tree in my front yard)
Wade & Butcher in Marble Wood
George Walker - The Mikado in Yellow Heart
All finished in CA Glue.
Thanks to those who helped with tips and hone services.

Thanks for all the kind words, but let's reserve terms like "talent" for the true artists on this sight. I consider myself to be somewhat obsessive w too much time on my hands.[emoji6]

These are great! Let me know if you wanna sell any scales. I'm always looking for custom scales to finish off my restorations

Beautiful collection! But I think "talent" comes in several forms. Some have a natural ability that still needs practice and others just have a mix of desire/passion that leads to skill-building by the same hours of practice. Both result in lovely works of art made by artists!
