Thread: Wade & Butcher with walnut/pearwood

A huge W&B with freemansons-symbols. The handle is from walnutwood and swiss pearwood. It should be a wall
The buttspacer is from brass and green Horn. The finish is shellac.

Sweet! That is one nice razor! Really interesting pins too! Great job...I'm sure it shaves like a dream as well!

Love the way you incorporate brass into your spacer. I'm going to try that soon.

Where do you get the horn for that spacer?

From an old broken W&B horn handle.

Now that is one magical razor!

Absolutely superb. Frankly, it just shows I have some catching up to do. It never ceases to amaze me how creative some folks are. I would've never thought to 'zip' two woods together like that, and it just set off about a thousand ideas in my head. I hope you don't mind if I use these as inspiration.

Really... you are teasing us with those scales. When are you going to start selling the scales so we can all have such beautiful razors?

I like the "craft look" you went for very consistent and nicely done.

Those scales are absolutely marvelous. I love the way you joined the two wood species. I've never seen anything like it. Like Joe Chandler said, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for creating stunning and original scales. Would you mind revealing to us something of your methods for joining those two woods?

I like the spacer and I like the blade. Admirable work. The "scriblings" one the blade are quite original. Another great idea that's new to me, and opens another world of possiblities. I think that could be developed further, specially as a great way to decorate wedge-style blades.
On the 5th photo, I noticed a shim next to the blade. Is it there to make the fit more snugly? Or just a slight color variation in the wood?

what an outstanding job, the organic feel of it is incredible. You blew my mind.
Thanks for sharing.
