I modified my Uncle Henry Golden Spike this past week, adding a maple handle, leather and copper spacers, and I brush finished the brass. Was a lot of work, but turned out nice! Here is a view with the old handle underneath for comparison:

Took a while, as I did a lot of experimenting on spacer material. I also made a demo handle because I didn't want to mess up this piece of wood. I guess it took maybe 8 hours or so. I could probably do it faster now that I know what I'm doing :). Still finishing the handle, using several thinned coats of wiping varnish.
