Thanks for the close up pictures, great stuff. That is quite a restoration, very sensitive. You have almost caught the spirit of the first maker.
I never like doing work where I have to rework somebody else's hand, Not just because I cannot get the money because people think it will be cheap as some of the work is already done. How wrong! it is like trying to copy another persons hand writing, it comes from another head another life and thought.
