It's a beautiful restoration. And if I understand well, we should rule out the possibility of temper issues. I hope the member that did the restoration job understands that I had to ask in order to rule it out as a possibility.

Do you guys think I should raise the honing angle any further?
If so, more tape than 6 layers is going to be awkward. Maybe it would be better to attach a thin aluminum strip of under one layer of tape.
Has anyone any experience with raising the spine that high?
Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Bart.
