First restoration - Boker

I've definitely caught the restoration bug - currently I've acquired about 10 old blades that I'm in the process of sanding and making scales for. This Boker is the first straight that had I have acquired that had salvageable scales and thus is the first one Ive actually completed. Still has some pitting that I could have spent some more time on, however anyone that has embarked in hand sanded knows the time involved to get that true mirror finish. All that said I'm pretty pleased with the turnout, check out the before and after and let me know what you think.
