Here are pictures of the fully restored piece. I did the replacement silver band, the scabbard, and took the rust off and etched the blade.
What was amazing is that Maggie, who restores ivory, did the missing ivory parts, and refitted the tail which was poorly glued. She did amazing work! Enjoy! |

Speechless. That large fissure in the back of the kakatua has completely dissapeared. and the "beak" looks to be incorporated just as seamlessly.
Compliments to you and Maggie. |

Beautiful work. What wood did you use for the scabbard?

Good work on the restoration.
What is the dimension of the Kakatua, looks big. Great find. |
