Morley and Son with custom epoxy finish purpleheart wood, my first
For your review, my first humble submission to the restoration world. This is a Morley and Son clover brand razor that I sanded and polished. There are still some surface defects in the blade but I did not want to sand it any further and chance removing to much metal and compromising the blade. It will not affect the shave of the blade and these are wonderful shavers. The scales I made from purpleheart wood and epoxy resin finished them. I cut the wedge from brass stock and sanded it to fit. The blade is nice and tight and centers in the scales perfectly.
So what do you think? My first sand and polish, my first set of scales, my first pin job, can I take the title of novice restorer? And more importantly, I am going to hone it and make it shave ready and list it in the BST, what would be a fair asking price? I must say, I think it looks damn nice and hate to sell it, but I need the money to get more supplies, and razors, and then make a dozen or two more.
I am scaling another clover brand blade in a set of bloodwood scales tonight as well. I will add photos of it once I have it completed.
