Before And After Restoration - Bone 8OT
Before And After Restoration - Bone 8OT
I bought a bone 8OT in rough shape a few months ago. It popped up on ebay with a strangely low 'buy it now' price so I snagged it but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. Here are some before pics:
I decided to send it out for restoration and can't say enough how blown away I am by the transformation. HUGE thank you to Eric Albers for this amazing job!!

I don't know who Eric Albers is but whoever he is, he did a spectacular job. Looks brand new now.

If Eric couldn't whip that into shape, I doubt anyone could. Looks great now!
