Workedback restoration
You may remember seeing this. A 5/8 workedback Boker.
One of the scales was stuffed and the blade didn't look to pretty.
Well I gave it a bit of a clean up and even I'm impressed. Thanks btw to Randy for the magic powder.

ps This will be dressed in something nice soon.

Looks great!
What did you use for the spine (a dowel with sand paper?)?
I have this blade with a MOP tang. They shave great!
What are you thinking for a set of scales??

For the spine I used various sized buffing wheels on my dremel, there was no pitting to grind out.
The scales are going to match the blade in some fashion or other, I have a few ideas but I'll test first before I divulge.

Hey that's that "damaged" Boker I didn't bid on.
Very nice work Gary.

I love the worked back on that razor.
if anything has been abnormal for a long enough period it then becomes normal.

when you are using the "magic powder mixture" how are you using it?
via a cloth and hand rubbing .... felt wheel on a dremel....some kind of leather?
results look nice, seems to be a good idea. oh one more question... are you doing pure fabulustre then the "magic powder mixture" then pure maas as final, like a 3 step finally or does the "magic powder" provide a 3 in 1 combo step?
randy, when you powdered it, which way did you find to be the easiest powdering technique? i got a big ol' stick of fabulustre which prolly take me 4 years to use it all, so powdering it up for better results in a mixture would be something id like to do.
thanks,
~J

I mix a little of the powder in with my metal polish and use a buffing wheel on my dremel. Simple really. And great results.
