Workbench Custom Razors for the new year 2011

Bill, is that a Henry (rifle)?

Regardless, looks great so far.

Bill, The Axe turned out magnificant!!
The rifle has some great work as well. I like the flow and feel of the vinework.
Question, do you find it easier or harder to work a larger more open pattern as opposed to a smaller more tight pattern?

Cheers!

Here is an update on one of the other razors I was working on. Actually, all three of the ones I had posted earlier are nearing completion. I'm not posting pics on two of them so the boys buying them will be surprised at what I did. It can be a dangerous thing to do, but I think I may be safe this time around.

Anyway, new slogan... "Got Celtic"?



For an idea on perspective, the spine width is 3/16's of an inch. The ribbons on the spine are right at 1mm.

Very nice Bill. That looks like it would be quite a comfortable razor to hold. Also, it matches your custom strop quite well. Have you ever (or considered) doing copper inlays on a razor?

Thanks for posting more pics for us to drool over!

I just started reading this thread today as I'm still new to straight shaving but wow Bill, you are magical with steel, my hats off to you.

Also I've never meet you but I like your stile. I know, a little late but, what the hell.

Again, very cool and thanks for sharing.

nice work Bill!
Been wondering what you've been up to.

Ahh! a steel surgeon. Beautiful work bill. I tried pin striping once. Never again, my hands aren't steady enough. Amazing!

Great design with the Celtic theme Bill! I know without question what a treat the new owner of your work is in for. Thanks for sharing all of this.
