This is my first restore. It's a 8/8+ Wade and Butcher "for barbers use" in bloodwood. The scales were finished in epoxy resin, but I had to sand it down a bit so the finish is dull. Later on tonight I might put a coat of urethane on the scales to bring back the shine. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I learned a great deal. Can't wait to hone it up and shave!!!!
Please comment and make suggestions, as this is the first of many restores that I will be doing and any advice for future restores will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone that helped me, you guys are awesome.
