ANOTHER Mycarver Masterpiece!

[Shawn557]

Mycarver sent me pictures of the razor he restored for me today and I was totally blown away! I was speechless. I've posted it before when I found it in the basement. It belonged to my wife's great grandfather. Many thanks to mycarver and his skills!!!!

In the before pictures, the scales look like black horn, but mycarver told me that when he polished them, they are semi-transparent.

For your viewing pleasure:



Thanks again Mark!!

Yep it does!!! Most on this site told me it was from the 1840's or 1850's!!! Should be good for another 100 years or so!!!!

Shawn, I'm glad you had Mark wave his magic wand over that straight. What a priceless family heirloom Mark restored for you.

Very nice Shawn, Mark does excellent work. Hope you enjoy.

He also sent pics, today, of a Torrey he cleaned up for me. Mine was not quite as bad as yours, but had some rust, tarnish, and a lot of scratches on the blade. I wanted it to look good since both of my boys are currently in the Army.
