This is a handcrafted handle by Robert Quinn from separate pieces colored acrylic sheets that were cut and assembled by hand in order to create this piece. The modern Barber’s Pole originated in the day when blood-letting was one of the principal duties of the barbering trade. The two spiral ribbons painted around the pole represented two long bandages, one twisted around the arm before bleeding (to make the vein stand out), and the other used to bind it afterwards. The first European poles contained only red and white stripes and some historians credit the blue stripe on the American poles as having been transported from blue and white bands on English poles of the 1700’s. Other authorities say that American barbers added the blue stripe to their red and white poles as a patriotic gesture.

Canadian Flag

support2 — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:53:11 +0000

This razor handle is handcrafted by Robert Quinn from separate pieces of dyed Curly Maple and arranged to depict the Canadian flag. These individual pieces were laser-cut to exacting tolerances, then assembled by hand in order to create this piece. Curly Maple occurs when the heartwood of the hard Maple is highly figured. The hard Maple is a cold-climate tree, and grows abundantly in the northeastern United States, Middle Atlantic States, and throughout the Great Lakes region, as well as in areas of eastern Canada. The heartwood is reddish in color, varying from light to dark reddish-brown. The growth rings produce a very fine brown line throughout the wood. The grain of hard maple is tight with a fine texture. Curly maple is a popular choice for furniture, cabinets, countertops and musical instruments.

This razor handle is 3.725 inches long and weighs 1.4 ounces.
