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

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

This style of resto is pretty poor..
