Greetings folks!
I got this back in March at the Louisville Military Show of Shows. Here are pictures of how it was when I got it. It was missing some of the back tail decor, the nose, and a silver band. |

She's a beauty! Somehow I feel restoration pics are soon to follow.
 I always enjoy seeing you work your magic, Jose. |

Here are pictures of the fully restored piece. I did the replacement silver band, the scabbard, and took the rust off and etched the blade.
What was amazing is that Maggie, who restores ivory, did the missing ivory parts, and refitted the tail which was poorly glued. She did amazing work! Enjoy! |

Speechless. That large fissure in the back of the kakatua has completely dissapeared. and the "beak" looks to be incorporated just as seamlessly.
Compliments to you and Maggie. |

Beautiful work. What wood did you use for the scabbard?
