    Default K.C. Seelback Co. "Buddy"

    Here is a random snag off of the bay that I fell in love with and had to save. All in all it was on decent shape with a couple little rust spots, a little hone wear, and some good looking scales. After getting it back together I did notice that the scales are a little warped so I'll have to keep an eye on that but I think it turned out alright for no more than 2 hours of work. It could have been better by far but with where the few pitting spots where I really didn't want to sand on it too much. This one will be my second victim on the hones, cheers and enjoy all......around 5/8's btw .

    Looks good! By the mark on the end there I thought you were going to have to take a lot more metal off. Was that a scorch mark?
