As some of you may know that in addition to carving I also restore for myself and others vintage straight razors.
This matched set of Hinkels Twin Works razors came in with the request that I design a box for them. The basic mahogany construction is simple finger joints. Mortised pocket for the lock mechanism. I routed/carved the panel and then flocked it where the razors lay.
On the razors blade there is a design etched and gold washed which I reinterpreted on the lid. I put 23k gold in the rays. The center medallion I inlaid and then scrimshawed the twin work logo. When closed the padded lid holds the razors securely in place. It was an enjoyable break from the normal razor work and now this nice set has a fitting home.
