Hello,
few weeks ago I received an abused russian shovel from 1940.
The finder, an old men, unfortunately scratched the blade and destroyed the surface of the handle with a heavy steelbrush.
After a little restauration I was suprised.
I didn't expected it to be so nice again.
I used oxalic acid for the blade and sanded of the wood fine and carefully.
Finally I oiled the piece and that's it.
Best regards,
Austrian
