Description

This razor handle was handcrafted by Robert Quinn from White Oak from the Ash Lawn-Highland home of James Monroe.  This massive oak tree (7’ in diameter) was growing well before Monroe built his home Ash Lawn-Highland, and is still living and healthy.  Experts have estimated the age of the tree to be between 300 and 400 years old.  This piece is from the removal, in 2008, of one of the lower branches that was in decline.

The wood was provided by Historical Woods of America, Inc. (www.historicalwoods.com) who reclaims wood from historical sites.  Bill Jewell, the founder of Historical Woods of America has been featured in numerous publications, as well as a guest on The New Yankee Workshop.

This piece will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authentication from HWA as to the origin of this very special wood.

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