Speechless. That large fissure in the back of the kakatua has completely dissapeared. and the "beak" looks to be incorporated just as seamlessly.

Compliments to you and Maggie.

Beautiful work. What wood did you use for the scabbard?

Good work on the restoration.
What is the dimension of the Kakatua, looks big.
Great find.

Thank you folks.

As far as the scabbard is concerned, it is made of stained walnut.

The kakatua pommel is 3 7/8 inches wide and 8 inches long from nose to tail.
