I still haven't really got a set routine worked out. This one was hand sanded the whole way and then some metal polish. It was then left oiled for about the last 6 months while waiting for pin stock and the time.

In that time, the worst happened, it got some spiteful areas of rust all along the was shiny and pit free spine. So it went back to 1k wet n dry and then got buffed on a few different compounds and then polished and that was it. I really like the results!
