    It is very nice. Only the love of the oldies produces respectful work such as this.

    This 11/16 James Hall received a regrind to remove most the pitting while still keeping the grind a wedge/near-wedge.
    The scales were also kept close to the original shape with a fresh set of buffalo horn utilizing the original lead wedge.

    All in all, I'm really happy how this turned out. Thanks for looking!
    Nice, VERY NICE!

    Any chance of re-posting in the Workshop with some pictures of the process or at least how it was accomplished machines etc

    These are the only photos I took, lol. I'm usually lucky if I remember a before shot these days.

    Process was basically a belt progression on my grinder with an 8" contact wheel. Only time it saw the buffer was upon completion and it only received 1-2 passes with some green rouge.

    I for one would settle for some pics of the machinery!
