This one is going over seas to Scotland. 5/8 Geneva in Thuya Burl lined with blue vulcanized spacer material finished in CA with a blue swirl acrylic wedge.

The new owner actually didnt send me this blade, he sent me an ERN eBay special that, unless it was an heirloom, wasn't worth restoring. It has terrible hone wear and DEEP pitting. Since he lived so far away, I told him I would pick a similar razor out of my 30+ to be restored pile and this is what came out of it. I think he will be pleased. The ERN is just going to get a honing.

I like what you did there. The blue of the inner liner really makes it special and pleasing to the eye.

That's truly lovely, and I agree with the other posters who mentioned the blue lining to the scales; they both accentuate the burl and are quite lovely in themselves.

I'm sure you'll have exceeded your client's expectations. :thumbup1: Bravo!

Beautiful color combo. I love the orange with the royal blue. Your work is superb as always. The scales fit the blade very well. Your scales match the blade in both size, shape and heft. I try to model my own work the same way. Too often, you see big chunky scales that just seem to outweigh (figuratively and litertally) the blade they hold. Your proportions are always right on. Always a sign of a skilled hand.

Well done!:thumbup1:
