My first razor restoration

Ontario Cutlery 5/8 in wenge scales/bone wedge.

scales were hot wax soaked then had a little neats foot wiped on same with the wedge
mirco fasteners and added a third pin
brass collars in pivit hole and for third pin as well
cleaned and sanded blade from 800-2400 then turtle wax rubbing compound
its ruff but mostly all by hand, and I cant help the faux fur after all its like razor soft porn

My first set was pretty rough too. I have found the key is to round out all the outside edges with some 220 grit paper. Then proceed through the grades all over. Somehow it really helps the overall look of the scales.
