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.
