The Tru-oil finish was looking horrible so started sanding it down last night.

Decided natural was a better way to go, so went back to 800, then went 1500 & 2000. Then a couple rounds of Flitz followed by Renaissance Wax. Hard, dense wood so should be good.

Pinned it up with some repro brass domed washers and hopefully got a good mix of old and new. Here she is...

All nice, tight & balanced.

Went with camel bone for the wedge to contrast the dark wood. Nice and centered without any washer tricks.

I think I like the backside grain a little better.

And one more glamour shot for good measure.

This was a fun project, and what do you know, I am getting a little faster... very little .
Enjoy your projects.

Now I get to see if all that cutting/sanding screwed anything up with the blade.
