Thread: First Restore - Half way there

I purchased a Bengall Wedge from Leighton.

I wasn't in bad shape, but it did need refreshing.





So here it is refreshed. I will be getting tiger maple scales because what's a Bengall Tiger w/o stripes, right?

Once it is shoed, I may name it Hobbes. Now I have to find a Calvin.

Edit: The major pit and crater removal was done with an 80 grit dremel flap wheel. It is a wedge so I had some material to work with. I may end up going back over it with 100 and up because there is still some residual striations that are not visible in the pics. I polished it with the white dremel compound and a terry wheel. Followed up with a vigorous rub with a paper towel, followed with Turtlewax premium on a felt wheel dremel. vigorous rub again viola.
