If I get ten spare bucks, it's going for a 30-pack of Schlitz.
I had some scraps laying around (actually a lot of them) and made a little gift box.

When I was a kid, my dad and I would tap maple trees on our property. We used a hand brace that he'd inherited from his father. I was puttering in my basement and opened up the old tool chest and found the brace in pretty rough shape. I've never done any kind of restoration work before, but I figured I'd give it a go. Because of the extensive pitting I couldn't make it 'like new' but I'm pleased with the results. Not too shabby for a ~100 year old tool:
