    She's gonna be a beauty B52. Now it makes me want to do my W&B I showed the other night with the inlays on the scales.

    Thanks Tom. I was too afraid to put power tools to the inlay so I used a dental pick and one of my finer carving bits in between my fingers to expose the old etchings as best I could. Used that pic you posted as a guide, but also guessed a bit on where the lines were completely faded but it looks much more detailed than where I started. Blades came out nicer than the first FBU I tried to save, but was not as far gone either. Hope it hones better too.

    @Miket
    I really like the way the brushes and the stands are made together. It looks pretty sharp. The shorties are looking very nice too. Great finish on the blades & scales.

    Also heres a pic of my 3 shorties (2 Torreys and a Henckels).
    The big razor is my next project, "Manufactured For The United States by E.L. & Co." 9/8".
    Its not the best looking blade, kindof a "plain Jane"... But maybe I can make it better.. It doesnt compare to other manufactures (IMO) in technological attributes or looks.

    *** Please forgive the off-thread-topic pics.. Ill get right ontop of a proper salvage okay boss man? Just figured you guys could use something to joke about... hehehe ... ... ... A Shorty Liberace Brush!

    Damn it Mike that's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you for the perspective! I'm gonna keep my eyes open and mind turning to think of a hanger..
    Hey you know those devices that spin beakers in laboratories... we gotta put our minds together to make one to spin brushes...

    Edit: oh I forgot to say, your brush is Finest F2 badger... on the other thread you had it as boar. I forgot whether I told you or not but figured it was a typo..
