Essex custom restore
Haven't posted in a while so here is the latest restore I did.
Essex 6/8 hollow with deep etch on the blade.
Blade buffed and polished to achieve as close to typical factory finish as possible.
Scales are satin wood finished with Shellac. Wedge is Acrylic, brass pins and stainless washers.
Took more pics to show the figuring of the wood better.
