For Y'all Scottish Smoother Finished!

With the clamps off, the block was flushed alongside the bird in addition to and thus cutting to fossil oil cast alongside a fine coping saw past times Knew Concepts. I in addition to thus used rasps to refine the curves to a pleasing cast which blended inwards alongside the original. This went quicker than I expected, mahogany is much softer than rosewood although it's rattling slowly to take likewise much! The method of attaching in addition to clamping the novel spur worked rattling good alongside a tight articulation in addition to no mucilage line.
The color was non just a perfect jibe due to both historic menses in addition to the fact the master copy had been stained. I used a combination of coloured shellac in addition to permanent markers pens to blend the novel spur in.

The novel grip fitted nicely in addition to gave a comfortable grip.

Here's the finished handle. I sealed the color alongside a duet of coats of tinted melamine lacquer which was applied to the whole plane. This was in addition to thus lightly cutting dorsum alongside 600 grit in addition to waxed.

Before applying the lacquer I 'distressed' the novel spur (with a bunch of keys) to blend inwards alongside the knocks in addition to bumps of the balance of the wood. The consequence was pleasing in addition to yous actually wouldn't suspect it had been repaired.

Here's the spur compared to the Galloway plane.
