Hope you're feeling better soon Bill.

That is always a bummer when you get two different bugs at the same time. I hope you get well soon. Being sick sucks.

Glad to see ya back.
Guess I need to get moving and sell off some stuff so I can pay.

Sorry to hear you have been feeling poorly. Hope that you get better in time for the holidays.


Take Care,
Richard

Bill - hope you feel better soon! It's good to see you back posting here...

I'm leaning towards 154CM stainless and Mopani wood for scales. I have really been enjoying working with it recently. It is just plain classy.

That sounds like a wonderful choice. The one on your blog looks nice!

Thanks, Stephen. Here are three more pics that show the wood grain.

Thanks, Stephen. Here are three more pics that show the wood grain.

If anyone drops off the list I would love to be put on the waiting list

Those look beautiful

Wow Bill,
Simply fantastic looking, classy razor that looks like a joy to use as well as look at (but judging performance by looks is dangerous in cars, guns, dogs, knives, razors, cigars, women, hell all of my hobbies. But it's an Ellis, so I think it's a safe bet.)

Here's hoping you get feeling better, Bill. Hope it isn't anything too serious, but regardless, take care of yourself first...we can wait.

Hey you did not think this thread was dead did you? Wake up and just think about it! An Ellis razor! Just plain wrong guys!

Later,
Richard

I start to salivate and then feel my face every time I think about this thread

 

[riooso]

+1, me to!

I haven't forgotten you guys. I'm just swamped with a lot of stuff, including things that have nothing to do with razors. If it's any consolation, I have not been accepting any new orders for customs or restorations and I won't until I finish with the things that are already on my work schedule.

I thought I would have already been able to get started on these, but I can't get to them just yet. Sorry...

 

[Bacchus]

Art takes time, so no worries

 

[Hawkeye5]

No problem. If I can sit in a tree all day freezing my uh-huh for one shot at a good deer, I can wait for the razor.

 

[riooso]

No worries here. When it comes to this one I will have the patience of Jobe.

Take care guys,
R

From someone who has 2 Bill Ellis razors - the wait will be soooo worth it! His work is just gorgeous and you will be bowled over when you actually hold one in your hand!

This just gives us more time to get more excited about it! I am looking forward to the Bill Ellis Hat Trick!

If I may make a suggestion...not so much for this project necessarily but just to add to Bill's options in wood for anything else he does in the future:

I met my wife in Oregon and it was there I learned of a fairly unique wood: Myrtlewood. There's a lot of fact along with legend about this wood.
Evidently, myrtle only grows in Jerusalem and Northern California/Southern Oregon. No one is quite certain how it got here (the West Coast). Here's a short description about its history: http://www.realoregongift.com/Myrtle_Tree_Story/myrtle_tree_story.html
Here's another link with more visual examples of this wood: http://myrtlewoodgallery.com/

Anyway, just wanted to pass that wood along after reading this thread and looking at all the other beautiful woods Bill has worked with. I'm not sure if he enjoys working with hard woods, but this is a rather unique and very gorgeous wood.

Thanks, Stephen. Here are three more pics that show the wood grain.

Simple grain, but nice choice Bill. Will you be doing the tooled spline and inlays or is that too much work for a group buy razor?

Just curious.

Thanks!
