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.

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 !!!!! BrotherLast edited by gssixgun; 08-11-2008 at 08:56 PM.
