Description
This razor handle was handcrafted by Robert Quinn from Tasmanian Rose Myrtle Burl that grows in Victoria and Tasmania. This wood is prized for its interesting figure and variegated colors. The combinations include amber, pale pinkish brown, reddish brown & bright cherry red, with a mostly fine and uniform texture. Tasmanian Myrtle can be a large tree. It is actually a Beech tree with no obvious resemblance to the European Myrtle – the name Myrtle has stayed after long usage by foresters and bushwalkers. Rose Myrtle is used extensively in fine furniture making and by craftsmen to produce exclusive items. It is also sought after among guitar makers for its wide tonal range and warm overtones.
This razor handle is 3.875 inches long and weighs 1.6 ounces.
