Excellent work Rachel.
I can imagine working with the blend of old with new was a little challenging and fiddly.

Thank you, Ron! It took around 30 minutes to look everything over and make a plan. About an hour of plaiting and it was fixed, then of course the waxing. I just dropped strands and added strands as needed to meld the new in.

Thanks for the explanation.
Great job. Making something old and broken, functional again is a big deal.

The handle looks very smooth, I imagine this is how it feels as well.

Thanks, Ron!
Thank you, Julia! I hope so, they are sanded to 1200 grit. They still have a little few tool marks if you look close.
Mr. Robert, Flemming, thank you! More to come!!
