[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 417509, member: 3775"] Nice find, OMJ! That's my kind of estate acquisition - cheap, cheerful and pleasantly surprising. :D RE: the chip on the shank, I've had good luck mixing briar dust and CA glue to form sort of a wood paste filler. Dries fast, so get it in place quickly, then sand to shape. It ends up darker than the natural briar, but I don't think that would detract significantly from your estate find. Of course if the dark fill bugs you, you could fit a nickel band over the end of the shank to hide the fix. That would dress up the old girl a bit, too. ;) [/QUOTE]
