Restored Smiling Wedge in Cocobolo wood
Before and after picks of the restoration of an unknown smiling wedge. Cocobolo wood finished with Lemon oil and polished. Acrylic black/white marbled wedge.
Domed washers in stainless and nickle silver pins.
Spent some quality time with my new mistresses Ms Buff and Ms Polish. Special thanks to Lynn for the time spent on the phone discussing techniques and tools.
Scale design by CarrieM and JrJoeD, this was a family project that we all enjoyed. Pictures my JrJoeD.regularjoe likes this.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

Wow, that is an excellent blade restore, and a unique, and very cool take on scale design!
Love the one of a kind blade shape, and how you polished it up, really looks wonderful.

Mmm, purty! Love that blade shape, especially the tail. Nice work with the scale shape too - simple but they compliment the blade shape nicely.

Outstanding work Joe. It always amazes me how a blade can be brought back to life after looking so bad. (Nice pictures, JrJoe.)

Big Ups, Joe & crew
I like the 'mona lisa' smile on the scales
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
