W&B Bow in Blackheart Sassafras
I seem to spend more time restoring than taking pics but made an effort for this one. I'll post some other restos soon but apologies for my photo skills. I took 36 shots to get any that were worthwhile.
This is a W&B Bow I got off eBay and broke the bakelite scales while de-pinning. :cry: It happens.
Not much into before shots so I included the eBay pics
On a positive note I was given some Tasmanian Sassafras which I thought I'd try. Pretty timber I think and the Yin Yang effect was a nice bonus. Hand rubbed oil finish to 1000 grit - much less frustrating than CA.
I wanted to keep the engraving so started at 800 grit on the razor and worked up to 3000 pre buffing.
Still some pitting and staining of course but that's ok for a workhorse.
Yet to hone it but hopefully it shaves like a W&B should.
