That really cleaned up nice. How did you protect the tang from the sanding?

I was just really careful hand sanding.... I'm sure hit the ivory here and there, but, I must say, that ivory is incredibly resilient compared to celluloid

Very nice piece, perfectly restored. Respect

Love the before & after's. What a transformation! Makes the hard work worthwhile doesn't it? Fantastic!
