Wade & Butcher FBU

An early FBU I believe. Maybe 1830 - 40. Lots of patina (corrosion) and a fair amount of hone wear. Restored to the original glazed type finish. The broken and cracked scales were repaired and re-dyed. Big beautiful original brass beehive collars and the original lead wedge. A couple before pictures and in process off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set on a 1K.

Your work is always the boss Karl, looks great as usual.

Gotta get my act together and send you a LeCoultre 7 day frameback I'm thinking of getting the works on....would look stunning after you got done with it. :-)

Outstanding work!

very nice.
I like your garden too :)

great job again Karl!

Karl, what a wonderful restoration.

I have a W&B FBU that I restored, but my work pales in comparison to yours. I am envious of your skills.
