Nuttin’ Speshal
Just an old OT that was nearing the end. Blades would not snap as the backspring was worn down at the pivot point. I dropped the pivot pin. This brought some action back. Backspring are not exactly flush in closed position, but they are close.

Thanks for stoppin’ by.

New life for an old warrior ... lives to fight another day .... Love seeing this sort of restoration just as much (if not more) than the pretty ones.

Re: Nuttin’ Speshal
Thanks fellas for the kind words.
Mix in alcohol and soak scales in that.
Alcohol takes it deep then evaporates.
I have used Fiebings leather dye as well, with good success.
I have not tried RIT dye on bone, but have used it on wood. It needs to be finer than what comes in box so I use a mortar and pestle to grind it up, then use with alcohol.
Mike, I used a yellow dry stain, alcohol soluble. Comes from international luthier supply in Tulsa (from my instrument building days)Meridian_Mike wrote:SWEET save on that one Tony.... That is a real beauty!

Re: Nuttin’ Speshal
COOL.....
Ahhhhh ha! Never thought about the stains from Luthier's Supply. I have a box full of that same stuff.. I used to hunt down old fiddles and refurbish them. WOW.....Looks like I need to get my stains out and give 'em a try.
Thanks Tony!!
