i bought a nice shape badly faded square corner pat pending tuf neck stem from the museum,i was hoping that when it arrived it was good enough condition to just de-ano and leave as is to maintain the brushed og finish,unfortunately when it landed it wasnt as good as i thought so out came the wet and dry and its now a polished stem. what i want to know is how do you return it back to a brushed finish? im trying to go with as many og finishes as possible on my last build and a brushed stem is a must,so whats the answer ::)

Dannywhac:
Think you can re-create the finish using a whetstone :)

SteveP is your man for this. He has the whole process down  :daumenhoch:

Check to see if theres a sticky on this somewhere, there was a thread on how he did it. The results were amazing

Dannywhac:
Not as popular anymore since people stopped using sythes  :D

Think I remember reading a thread somewhere here that SteveP recreates the 'brushed' alu finish with a whetstone - maybe pop him a pm? :)

And beaten to it again ;)
