Thread: First restore

Here is my first attempt at a restore. It is a Case Co. that was in pretty bad condition. First I removed the scales because of scale rot. Next I sanded the rust away which turned out to pretty in depth as there was severe pitting. Finally I corrected a frowning blade, reset the bevel on a king 1000 and honed on a norton 4/8. The scales are figured beech with a poplar wedge. I used CA on the interior for longevity but used paste wax on the outside to retain the warmth and natural beauty of the wood. I had my first shave with it today and it was perfect minus that I need to mute the point a bit.
