Columbia full hollow restored
Here's some before and afters of another antique store save. This one has one side covered in micro pitting. Sanding wasn't going to do her any favors if I kept going, so I stopped while I was ahead and saved the etchings. The spine has some really bad DEEP pits, they were never going to come out, so I tried to get them as clean as I could, but they will be there forever now.
She shaves really really well, I was amazed at how smooth, with a ton of feedback. John should be very pleased with her when he gets her back, along with his DD.
Thanks for looking!!!

Mike my friend!
Nice job! You can't always bring'em back to new or better but at least you can let them live again! What's a few battle scars anyway??!!
Those scales look very familiar!!! I'll send you some pictures of the razor I did for a very good friend!
