Detlef and Jose, thank you both very much for your kind words on my work so far. To be honest I was hoping for a little better result on the repair that I have done to the broken hilt but sometimes things just do not turn out the way you want them to. I will be posting more pictures as the restoration progresses. Thank you both again.
Regards, Robert |

Well, here is the gunong. I still have to finish the scabbard and will post pictures when it is done. Sorry about the poor picture quality but seeing as we had 8 inches of snow today and the wind is still blowing I had to take the photo inside.

Beautifully done! It's amazing what a little wax will do to burled wood.
A treasure is all the more appreciated when you brought it back to life! |

Wow Robert, what a transformation! We're talking pure necromancy here!
It's very inspiring to see your work and you did good bringing honor to the old piece. I aim to slowly and gradually increase my own restoration skills and hope to one day be able to pull off this caliber of work too. I'll look forward to see you antiquing the brass and hope you'll be detailed in your description here as well. -I'm considering this on one of my own swords, so would love to see whats possible. Thanks for sharing, - Thor |

Thank you all very much for your kind words. I will be posting pictures of the scabbard as the work progresses. It will take time though as I am (as usual) trying to do ten things all at the same time.
Best, Robert |
