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   :shocked:

but any polished stem ends up with rounded edges it impossable to keep them sharp

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  :daumenhoch:

Cracking job...  :daumenhoch:

How did the underside of it turn out?

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