Draw knife restoration

[Hugo]

This is a draw knife that I have brought back to use.
I got it from Biker in a trade. (cheers mate)
The one handle that was still attached had woodworm and was cracked so It was time for new ones.
I was going to try and shape up some from spare bits of wood, but after a visit to my local boot market I came away with two nice ones that do the tool proud.
A bit of wet and dry plus TLC and this is the result.

Nice one and as you say the new handles look just right for it

Nice work. Probably a 100+ years left in that..

Nice one Hugo. Looks amazing! So glad to have added another useful tool back into the circle of life and not a landfill site someplace.
Yeah, those handles look the biz too.

Nicely done! I'll be looking forward to see some axe handles made using this one I was very surprized how well a draw knife does an jobs like these!
