Looks good, how did you deal with the rust?
I just used 150 grit sandpaper then I rubbed some wax all over it to keep it from rusting again.
In the video from my other comment the guy does 150 grit, 400, 800, 1200 or something like that. I didn't do a ton of sanding on the other side. Planning to come back and do a little more work on it. There's some cool stuff etched on the other side about Disston and more saw info. I've got some more research to do for figuring out how to remove the rust while preserving the writing.
I used renaissance wax, but after seeing fine woodworking post on preventing corrosion i might go with using the CRC stuff they picked. (https://www.finewoodworking.com/2012/05/31/the-best-rust-preventers need to sign up to get the PDF ๐ญ)
