Description

This handcrafted handle was made by Robert Quinn from Sweetgum burl, a species which is found in eastern North America. In more northerly climates, Sweetgum is among the last of trees to leaf out in the spring, and also among the last of trees to drop its leaves in the fall, turning multiple colors. The hardened sap, or gum resin, excreted from the wounds of the American Sweetgum, can be chewed on like chewing gum and has been long used for this purpose in the southern United States.

This razor handle is 3.875 inches long and weighs 1.6 ounces.
