sent my GrandFIL's vintage straight off to have it restored, technically this is a gift for the wife but I will give it a go and probably still order up a whipped dog sight unseen deal to work on technique while I start acquiring other 'stuff'..... lol, it never ends
these are a couple of "before" pics. with a little luck (I have no idea how long it will take) mycarver will have it done by mother's day for my wife, a nice start!!!!
