    Default Gemstar Customs - May listings

    This is the first Custom Razor for the month of May on the website..

    I hit some Antique stores in the Cashmere and Leavenworth areas of WA. state last month and picked up some nice stuff that will be filtering in there as time allows...


    This is a W&B 6/8-7/8 Heavy Wedge as you can see there is very little concave on the blade...
    The scales are Leopardwood and finished with Tru-oil using a very old process of application I actually hand rub these in now it give a much better looking finish...
    The pins & washers are Tri-metal bullseye and the wedge is Recon Turquoise...
    Even with the heavy blade I still got it to balance out...

    Oh boy...Now my RAD is intensified by W&B complications.

    Very nice-looking rescale of a straight razor legend Glen.

    damm late again.....

    beautiful job on both but I really like those cranberry scales very nice




    Surprisingly I found most of my factory scales razors won't sit level on an anvil as in your photo's which I wasn't expecting as many to fail as they did, yet when I tried before I could get all to balance on the tang except 1 which you fixed
