Looks nicer than it was,
Was this a grind away to non dented depth or was any make up used?
No smart comments about foundation or eye liner that obviously was worn during the resto.
Or am I the only one

polishing is a doddle. I've no idea why more of you don't give it a go.

It depends on the machining / polishing methods used IMHO ... here's a brushed stem I did last year. No before pix I'm afraid but it was well beaten

And a deep H which had been defaced before I got it ... the original steps on the cap centre were smoothed out so I had to carefully bring them back too

AFTER

Cracking job...

How did the underside of it turn out?

Looks the worst part of it looking at the pics on page 1

Amazing stuff there. Like any other quality job... It is ALL about the prep.

Don't look like it.. there must be quarter inch gone..

This style of resto is pretty poor..
