Description

This handcrafted handle was made by Robert Quinn from Thuya burl.   The Thuya tree is a short scrub-like conifer indigenous to Morocco. The exceptional natural patterns in the grain are only found in the root of the tree. The color is golden brown to red, highly figured with small eye clusters of tight burls.  It is relatively rare.  This wood has been coveted since Roman times for woodworking and furniture and in modern times extracts from the tree are used in both homeopathy and aromatherapy.

This razor handle is 3.25 inches long and weighs 1.4 ounces.
