Not such a dramatic difference in the pictures, after cleaning. In reality, there's a big difference... |
One corner is badly chipped. Will grind it down to make a smooth cutting/scraping edge... |
Ground the edge even and cleaned the metal portion. |
The plastic handle portions needs cleaning... |
Plastic handle portion, after cleaning... |
The metal potion has been cleaned. Now the wood handle portion needs a little TLC... |
Lightly scrubbed the wood to take off most of the dirt and some of the original finish, but not too much... |
Applied Watco Wood Oil... |
It looks wet in the picture but it's not. The wood has been rubbed with a cloth so is dry. The shiny appearance is the original varnish finish being highlighted by the oil. |
