Still got plenty to do it, but this is as far as I got today after I gathered some regaining strength..

I lopped the bottom and flattened it so it can be used to tamp, cut the blade down and rounded the tip so it doesn't scratch the bottom of the bowl, angled the spin so it can ream, cut out a notch so the nail nick can be reached, rehsaped the handle, restained it and waxed it and reedged the blade.

I'm gona dig out some thin steel for the tamp plate tomorrow, polish the blade, sort out any rough edges ont he blade and find my carving kit to add a colrosed pipe detail on the side. :D

Stay tuned.
