Shapleigh stockman restoration

Post by orvet »

This was an old Shapleigh stockman with broken bone handles. I thought I had some before pics but I can't find them. I might have forgotten to take them. ::shrug::

I tore it down and polished it up inside and out a and put new bone handles on it.
Not a perfect match on the bone color and jigging but I think it is in the ballpark.
