i presume he has just used wet-n-dry sanding using a block, going through the grades until you get the desired finish...

ozone:
The finish is lovely but the 1st pic of the restored sq corner stem shows the top cap has less of a curve than the base.

If you kept the cap bolted to the base then machined the front and sides prior to polishing/brushing, you would get a perfect match top and bottom and less (or no) curve. :daumenhoch:

That's how to achieve the pukka Tuff Neck squareness. ;D

Nice work all the same. ;)
