    Default Cracked W&B Bow re grind

    Well I finally got to working on this one, one more to go

    I used a stone head on my dremil with a bowl of ice water near by. Each pic is where the grinding stopped due to a hot dremil tool or battery died... ugh took all day to get that little shoulder ground off...

    After honing it up it acured to my I should have rounded the heel, I'll get that another day as I reallly want to shave with this bugger

    Nice save. I would highly recommend rounding the heel before even testing (as you said you'd do). You could probably even just do it on a hone.

    A+ that's just looking for trouble. Last thing you want in a lifetime scar. Keep us updated on the shave!

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
