Description
This razor handle was handcrafted by Robert Quinn from Lacewood, which is believed to be native to Queensland, Australia, specifically in the northern coastal areas. Lacewood is pale pink to light reddish-brown in color, with a silver grain that gives the wood a silvery sheen. With age, the heartwood matures to a brownish color. Its conspicuous, large rays give it an appearance similar to oak. The wood is straight-grained with a moderately coarse to even texture. A decorative wood, Lacewood is popular for ornamental furniture inlays. It can be peeled or sliced to produce decorative veneers, hence its popularity for paneling and in furniture and cabinet making.
This razor handle is 3.25 inches long and weighs 1.4 ounces.
