Rusty Cleaver Restoration With Ebony Handle
Going back to my roots, restoring a rusty old cleaver I've found in the ruins of my grandmother's house.
The cleaver was forged by a local blacksmith from an old plow blade folded on itself to form the handle.
Not a true restoration, since I've reshaped the cleaver, I know.
For the handle I've turned a nice piece of black ebony wood.
