Brian Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 This was posted on FB by someone in another discussion, and I grabbed this pic purely to post it for us to look at and enjoy.No discussion even needed. It is just some very pleasant eye candy. I know the "old iron" guys don't see them the same way, but I'm sure they appreciate the art and technique in doing this.Just...enjoy. 22 Quote

Cheers Alan Alan, I saw that (this pics comes from that post) but since that is his work, I didn't feel right posting it without his permission. And since he's a member here (under TosoguCz) if he wants it here, he's more than welcome to post it. He did an amazing job with it, and I am sure everyone would love to see the process. Quote
Stephen Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 Its on the net Some of his other restoration as well. You may remember one or two posted here that were overcleaned. Nice to see them saved. http://tosogu.cz/?cat=36 3 Quote
terminus Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 I've seen that one before, but I'm always impressed...Unno Shomin was incredibly talented. Does that tsuba sit in the MET or MFA atm? Quote
Greg F Posted February 15, 2020 Report Posted February 15, 2020 Wow amazing work! Thanks for showing us Brian and Stepen. Greg Quote

Not sure what can be done restoration wise. Maybe Ford will be able to chime in if he is doing better. Quote
Stephen Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Bullfrog Did you see what Roman did in link provided? Maybe Ford san is still out of commission. Quote
Stephen Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 The buyee tsuba sold for 2K... heavy sigh Quote
