Thread: First Restoration

Hello Gents,
Posting pics of my first ever straight restoration. I didn't change the scales because although the horn has some bug bites they are on the inside of the scales.I did all this before I picked up a copy of Bill Ellis's cd.So,this was just by the seat of my pants.Let me know what you honestly think,and what I could have done better. I did touch up the paint in the recessed lettering,hopefully it stays intact.I also think I still need to put a couple of coats of wax on the scales to further seal them.
Thanks.

Quite some difference! That is a nice first!

Nicely done! That'll look good during a shave.

nice job!!!!!!

reviving an old thread..Churchill, what did you use to get the blade so shiny without messing up the etching. Oh, and did you just use a little paintbrush to touch up the lettering? Beautiful job!
