Thread: W&B Full Custom restore

Full custom restore Wade & Butcher 8/8 FBU-

"The Celebrated"

Tore this one all down repolished the steel where some mental midget had taken sandpaper to it across the grind
Removed the rest of the rust and staining
Honey Buffalo Horn for the new scale material and we went with an Elk Leg Bone for the new wedge
Scales were thinned down to a Flexible .110" in fact the thickness at the wedge end is only at .300" just a touch over a 1/4"
Pins are solid brass along with the Inner bearing washers, outer lock washers are triple stacked to emulate the old bullseyes.

Honing was done on the Chosera 1-5-10 and straight to a Crushed Slurry technique on a Select Grade Coticule



















Thanks for Looking

Looks great. It’s always great to see how one of these classics can be reborn.

Hard to tell from the pics, but is that a satin finish?

Yes I would call it a Satin+ basically an OEM finish

Great job Glen!!!!!

Looks awesome - I love that everything is all natural, and so thin. Unobtrusive I'm sure.
