Talking Wostenholm Frameback Revived (carbon fiber helped... so did Gary!)

Here's my Wostenholm IXL frameback. I had it in some carbon fiber scales previously but it was never "finished". I sent it to Gary since I couldn't regrind the blade. He has the machinery for framebacks, so it came back with a mirror shine. I then revisited the CF scales and here is the result. I should have taken pics of the back too since it is the same as the front. Oh well. Booyah!

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!

Nicely done - you're quickly becoming a master of the man-made material scales! It just affords so much more opportunity for artistic license since the material is so strong to begin with!

Great job Alex!
