    Default Reworked and restored W Greaves & Sons in zebra wood

    I picked this little beauty in Hawaii while I was there and like most things there it was rusted. Had I known what I know now I most likely not have purchased it even for the $5 I got it for :lol:



    The rust was easy enough to deal with but after cleaning it looked like the surface of the moon.



    But I guess it all had a happy ending.

    Heck no! I used 3 flapwheels on my dremel (yes Glen we can hear you groaning ) to go from 120 grit to 240 and then 400. Then I hand sanded it to 800 and threw it in my tumbler.

    GROAN!!!!!!!!!

    Hey it worked out and obviously you were careful with it, those heavy wedges can take a lot more "work" than the hollow grinds can, they are a lot more durable...

    That came out really NICE !!!!! Brother
